While having _any_ new port has its merits, please comment on the following: 1) The ports collection on FreeBSD always tracks CURRENT, not older releases. 2) FreeBSD already has a DES library - in libdes - and this is the DES library that was written for SSLeay. To install it, you need to install FreeBSD's secure/distribution: (ftp://ftp.internat.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/<dist>/des/des??) If you are running an older FreeBSD, you will need to get the most recent DES (from 2.2-*). M -- Mark Murray PGP key fingerprint = 80 36 6E 40 83 D6 8A 36 This .sig is umop ap!sdn.
