I =20 installed it fine without having fam but it built gamin but then I had =20 problems with courier until I built and installed fam and after that =20 all was well. I didn't change anything else. From what you are =20 saying and from the experience that I had, I would assume that what =20 you suggest is basically what I did. That just might be worth a try =20 but it seems a bit weird. Thanks for the reply. As always your help is invaluable. You've =20 really got the freebsd courier port down. ed
