[...] Many thanks; I'm a bit nervous, as this is my only FreeBSD server :-) I know I'm going to have trouble with the ports area anyway, because I seem to have corrupted it somehow (during the switch between pkg* etc), and I cannot seem to reload it from the CD (disc1). Is there a way to fetch the entire ports tree online? Oh, this is for Joseph Mingrove: my mail log shows a message from you (relayed via FreeBSD.org) but there's nothing in my mailbox about it (and it certainly wasn't rejected). I guess I accidentally deleted it, so could you please send it again? -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
