NFS mount /usr/ports from the central server, but set the work directory prefix (WRKDIRPREFIX) to something local so that all disk writes (tarball extracts, patching, compiling, etc) is done on the local system. That way, you can do multiple port compiles on separate systems without them stepping on each other's toes. And you don't have to worry about endianness, bitness, or anything else. -- Freddie Cash, LPIC-1 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
