No problems in actual use - although a very few ports will not *build* as a non-root user (converters/libiconv comes to mind), the majority works flawlessly here: [stijn@firsa] <~> ls -ld /usr/ports drwxr-xr-x 55 src src 1536 Sep 25 05:30 /usr/ports Note that this is not writable for me, so I set WRKDIRPREFIX in /etc/make.conf to something like /local/build - if you can't write to $WRKDIR, the system will barf. --Stijn -- "I'm not under the alkafluence of inkahol that some thinkle peep I am.
