If you didn't deliberately install a port, then it must be a dependency of something. If it doesn't list any, then it's possible your pkgdb is inaccurate. Run % pkgdb -F to correct any incorrect or missing dependencies. What port is it? -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* Check the headers before clicking on Reply.
