What does the following give you. 'alias | grep portmaster' For me, I get the following; [root@Ziggy [~]# alias | grep port alias portmaster='portmaster -d --no-confirm' [root@Ziggy [~]# grep port .bashrc alias portmaster="portmaster -d --no-confirm" [root@Ziggy [~]# as you can see, these options are expected for me. As option of '-f' is what it sounds like is being called in your case, to force-reinstall everything named from the cmdln. HTH/C-
