The portmasters are responsible for the individual ports of NetBSD ... NetBSD/i386, NetBSD/hp300, NetBSD/powerpc, NetBSD/alpha, NetBSD/amiga, etc. In the NetBSD world, `ports' has an entirely different meaning than in the FreeBSD world. Having read Charles' slides before he presented them, I know he didn't say that the portmasters were responsible for `applications'. There are, however, other key developers that are responsible for various application programs that are shipped with NetBSD (i.e. BIND, Sendmail, dhcpd, vi, etc.) Jason R.
