The fetch(1) programs looks for an environment variable FTP_PASSIVE_MODE. (ie if you use csh or tcsh add "setenv FTP_PASSIVE_MODE" to /etc/csh.login) As an alternative you could put something like: FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS+= -P in /etc/make.conf but the first option is better. -- Dave Chapeskie , DDM Consulting To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
