The only one I remember being that way is > the old cvsup, but there was nocvsup-nogui (or -nox11?). Over the years I've found that ghostscript and gd are two common culprits. Every time I see a webserver with X11 on it, it's because of these two. Of course, using ghostscript*-nox11 as well as setting WITHOUT_X11=yes solves a lot of this mess, but on a system that's already been "infested", it's easier just to rebuild from scratch. I dearly love FreeBSD, but after a few hours of building world and upgrading ports/packages, walking over to my RHEL/CentOS machines and typing "yum update -y && reboot" just brings tears to my eyes. -- Matt Emmerton
