>Description:
It's either tksetiathome or setiathometk, or maybe tcl, not tk. That's seti at home, seti = search for extra terrestial, this a a distributed.net sort of thing, give us your spare cpu cycles. Anyway, if you select to install this in /stand/sysinstall, at least for a clean BSD 3.3 install, perhaps because I did about zero network configuration (I'll be using ppp, but not yet), it goes into a loop reporting something like "invalid email address"
>How-To-Repeat:
Do a clean install of FreeBSD 3.3 from the CD, don't do much/any network configuration, select the tk/tksetiathome (not sure of exact name), package.
>Fix:
Not sure. The ports collection is a good idea, but it seems you open yourself up to a lot of this sort of thing, and I'm not sure you have enough control over it to fix it.
