When ports are first checked in, they (should) have been tested multiple times by a developer and (perhaps) the person who submitted the port. Over time, however, due to entropy, third-party programs can become out of sync with FreeBSD, or vice-versa. I'd suggest you think a little bit before opening your mouth next time. I know plenty of people who've only been using *BSD for 5 years or less (such as myself) who are much more polite. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
