The case you're describing more generally is: parent port: out of date \ child port: up to date \ grandchild port: out of date This is exact scenario that I left the -t option in the code to handle, and is the only one where I know for sure that it's valid and appropriate. Unfortunately it's nearly impossible for portmaster to detect this situation without -t, and using it routinely has other nasty side effects. The only thing I can suggest at this point is to try -at and see if that works for you. hth, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.
