I'm running 4.73-linux on 4.0-STABLE Auth's in Apache work just peachy, and just to be different ;-) I have to say that seriously, this is probably the most stable NS has been for me in a few years. Also, 4.73-linux runs better on FreeBSD than it does on my linux box. As for 'uninstalling' a port.. 1) 'pkg_info | more' this will list all the packages you have installed 2) 'pkg_delete <pkg name>' will remove the package 3) To reinstall just cd /usr/ports/<pkg name> and do 'make install' Always keep in mind that if you are having trouble with a port, be sure you have recently <that day> cvsup'd the ports collection. Then do a make distclean and make install again in the pkg dir you want.
