And this is in the ports tree and hence "frozen" too. Matt has a point about all the scripts that might depend on the location of chown.

Since the ports tree is frozen, the change can't be made properly right now.) just MHO, Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
