Also, as I've already pointed out, setting FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS isn't a reasonable alternative since it will fail miserably for those ports who've decided to use something like wget instead (which doesn't care for a -P argument). > Ok, then please put in a comment there telling them to set > FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in their environment or /etc/login.conf.

On second thought, I will simply leave the ports collection broken as it currently is for firewalled people (who don't even know that "fetch" is used behind the scenes and hence wouldn't know to read its man page). It's not my problem and I'll simply direct all future complaints I receive about about it directly to you since the debate over solving it is turning out to be more headache than it's worth to me. :-( - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
