Is this not currently possible in FreeBSD for some reason? Since I didn't get a response to this question before, I figured I'd just call attention to it again. Does anyone know of any reason there shouldn't be a version of www/flock newer than 1.0.2 in ports? For reference, the version in ports is still 0.7_7, which seems absurdly old, considering the Flock project is up to 1.1 now. --=20 CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2); --82I3+IH0IqGh5yIs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkfrsdAACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVq5wCggof/l/svheuFSLrTHsb5CVEQ OjIAnAxohFMk9EdfJJhsMK+7SlBCg6m8 =ZR22 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --82I3+IH0IqGh5yIs--
