If that is a problem then maybe a global environment file should be put into place that will export that variable directly to user-land for consumption. FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is already set via login.conf. Would there be any harm in exporting one more for PKG_DBDIR instead of having that in the Make files at all ? I think something a little more solid should become of this variable than whats in place now. -- Regards, (jhell) Jason Hellenthal [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://bit.ly/0x89D8547E iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNwhyrAAoJEJBXh4mJ2FR+Ot8IAJ+ii7O4ZI2EggAtXFpO7OWt ciDadHMoJbCJWGdp8li9ckfmQwOAOWPjyMM/5+PTC14g63wvSjSDYXcw7oPAEE1f nLG7p8FhsjepjGer/xFK+rwuKmFBj/aSX1DcznrGFgBlzqdvOQvHLMUbuqoKBTVM W46XfUC5wm7REnQxfaGpvR5aFFncibEzmCHmhZnNySjtetX0MIBHnJi+Vv80HdBq VrU8jZxps+MlUS9E0EyQpBpfTFStxm9U9VDOsgWwdw75FnsZUY/0lq4NuuNHYYIT IcKF76jpr0mMXEELHj61squdaNdT6u72dOsPeMytkeZb+BjLhhQeSzhxd6Osw1Y= =ydO0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
