I checked the chinese, and yes, there are ports as well as the makefile etc. under the port. Looks completely normal as if I wasn't using REFUSE. If you look at the /etc/portsnap.conf file, the lines look like this: # # # REFUSE this that t'other # REFUSE some more stuff I just deleted the '#' and left the space at the beginning of the line. Surely that wouldn't fubar it, would it? I'll try again and remove the leading space, but I'n not optimistic. Is the portsnap author a member of this list?
