I could always set it up on another box so it doesn't interfere with the FreeBSD mirror. I'm more worried about getting it working properly than worrying about getting it working on a specific box. > # Another thing that I can't seem to change is the class section of > # the PR form when using send-pr triax.

I did a reinstall last night and before I did I renamed the existing send-pr to send-pr-fbsd. That seemed to take care of problems I was having with the categories, but the classes are still the defaults. Here's what I have in the classes file.. addition::New users to set up. change-request::Change existing user info. removal::Remove existing account. web-bug::Web site errors. But when I run send-pr, here's what shows up in it for the class.. >Class: <[ sw-bug | doc-bug | change-request | support ] (one line)> >From what you wrote, I assume you were talking about the perl scripts for wwwgnats. I haven't even gotten that far yet, I want to make sure everything works from the command line first. Didn't there used to be a port of wwwgnats? I can't find it anywhere though. The only two I find are gnats-3.106b and tkgnats-3.0.8. What happened to it?
