Date: Sun, 07 Jan 2001 19:55:46 +0000 Organization: not a lot.org Reply-To: john@T-F-I.freeserve.co.uk Message-ID: X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.8/32.548 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm having trouble getting the ports system to work and I think the problem is with the password which fetch uses when called by 'make install'. I've just found that I can make install lynx, but it's the only one so far; the difference is that lynx fetches using a HTTP URL. Any which use a FTP URL seem to just time out eventually. So the question is: where is the e-mail address set which fetch would use for an anonymous file download when called by make install? (FreeBSD-4.2 release through a '4.1 gateway) Thanks John.
