I've always had an unresolved problem getting 'make install' work for = ports. If I use ftp manually I always have to enter 'passive' to switch passive mode off before I can even use ls. I've seen archived messages which suggest putting FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=3D YES in /etc/make.conf to cure the = opposite of this problem, so I set FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=3D NO as the only line in a = newly created /etc/make.conf (FreeBSD-4.2) but it made no difference. (There's no mention of ftp mode in /etc/defaults/make.conf) make install always works fine if the *.tar.gz is already in distfiles = but always times out if it has to use ftp. Also, where is the password set for anonymous ftp connections as used by make install? Thanks again John.
