My interpretation is that the concerning directives (copied form the tail end of the portmaster(8) man page) are referring to subdirectories of /usr/local that installation of ports may modify -- e.g, bin, etc, lib, libexec, sbin; probably a few others. I have no reason to belive that /usr/local/ports will be harmed... at least, unless something goes wrong. :-/ Peace, david --=20 David H.
