That enables configuration compatibility but doesn't address binaries or their PATHs. Named perhaps isn't the best example of a port with cross-platform issues. Postfix, OTOH, is a different animal. I spent countless hours trying to accommodate the default BSD PREFIX, usually just installing from source without using ports, before paying Doug to write a patch for postfix' INST_BASE option. That investment has paid of manyfold over the years. Even more effort was put into porting freepbx but that effort failed specifically due to cross-platform (PREFIX) issues, resulting in several RH servers in an otherwise BSD shop. Roger
