My firewall(ipfw) prevents me from installing from the ports collection unless I can get fetch to use passive ftp. I know you can use fetch -p but that is not a permanent solution. I'm using bash. many thanks. nelis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
