I was trying to figure out what version of zlib FreeBSD is using, but since it wasn't part of any package, it was a little difficult, I had to edit libz.so and greped for 1.1.4. Since I found that, I'm assuming that that's the correct version, but I think a simple pkg_info -W should have answered that. Also, programs like named seem to come default as part of named and therefore have no package associated with them, but there is also a version in the ports collection. How do I uninstall the version in /usr so I can be assured that the version being invoked is in /usr/local. The last problem is that it makes it more difficult to find the source code for a particular core program. Is there any way I can access it any easier like I was doing in debian? "dpkg -S /path/to/file" tells me the package name, then "apt-get source package" downloads that package. --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
