Re: this -D option, I've rarely if ever had to use options when building ports - where do I use that argument: on the "make" or the "make install" command line or both? IE should it be: #cd /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable #make -DOPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE #make install Should I pkg_delete the openssh-overwrite-base-3.3p_1 first, or just fix things in pkgdb afterwards? ?? Thanks, Phil PS: I wish people would settle on just ONE or TWO (informatively named) SSH threads... with all these threads I spent over an hour wading through stuff trying to find pertinent information. -- Philip J.
