It was decided long ago that /usr/local *must* ship with the release as an empty directory. We do provide an mtree file for creating the most common empty directoires in /usr/local. I suggest your run this: cd /usr/src make MAKE_LOCAL=TRUE hierarchy It will create the empty directories with proper permisions in /usr/local. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
