You shouldn't be patching a patch file, as it is hard to keep track of the patches. 2. The patch for the RAND_CMD, in mod_frontpage.c, shouldn't use "(__FreeBSD__)", but should use "(defined(BSD) & BSD > 199103)" instead. Makes the patch more general so that NetBSD & OpenBSD users can use the same patch. >I have submitted this information to RTR and (hopefully) they'll include >some of it in the next release of the extensions. > All of the above changes are already included in the Apache-FP port. Plus additional patches for the shtml.dll - shtml.exe problem, Encryption Problem (when des not installed, passwords created by fpsrvadm.exe don't work). The port is currently, going through the process of being submitted to the ports collection (see pr 4878). The port for apache v1.26 is available from http://www.westbend.net/~hetzels/apache-fp A port for apache v1.3b6 is also available from http://www.westbend.net/~hetzels/apache-fp/beta.html Scot To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
