But from browsing the web and from the mailing list archives I found this same problem to be quite frequent and having the only apparent solution "just to wait few hours" Is this specific issue is bound to happen? I mean it seems as if community has adjusted with it. Is this "sync" issue is inherent in portsnap design? I am sorry but I am new to BSD world (Just completed a week!) so have no idea how things work here. Thank you. Avinash Sonawane (RootKea) PICT, Pune http://rootkea.wordpress.com
