Not that I am going to do any such thing, but why prevent people from providing their own binaries? Maybe they want to distribute their own ports tree to an internal cluster using portsnap, or keep local modifications to FreeBSD and distribute those using FreeBSD Update. Having just the client in the system feels kind of weird to me. Note that adding the server to base seems like overkill to me but in ports or in projects would do fine in such cases I guess. --Stijn -- "Well," Brahma said, "even after ten thousand explanations, a fool is no wiser, but an intelligent man requires only two thousand five hundred." -- The Mahabharata.
