Hi, question 1) I am unclear of how the port collection works in terms of updating. I have a 4.2 FreeBSD server running and installed the openssh package on first install. Now I would like to update that Openssh (which is 2.2.0) to the current available Openssh (2.9.3). I downloaded the newest port, saved it in /usr/src and did pkg_add Openssh2.9_3.tgz it complained with /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypto.so.2" not found I suspect the crypto package from Openssl needs updating. How do I continue now? Just do a pkg_add for the newest OpenSSL package? Isn't the port supposed to "know" the dependencies? question 2) I also frequently update my apache web server. I downloaded the newest source code, did configure and gmake, and then I just replaced the new compiled httpd with my old one. It works fine, but I would like to know if what I am doing is correct, or if there could be any problems doing it this way? Is it enough to just replace a new compiled binary with an old one? question 3) I am running a couple servers, all running Pentium II or III, on different MBs and Harddrives etc. Now let's say I compiled the new httpd on one machine, is it possible to simply use this file on one of the other servers? Kind of like using my own precompiled binary on different machines running the same FreeBSD? Thanks for any help! DrTebi _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
