Hi all,

I have several machines running FBSD now. At the moment I have a 
complete ports tree on each machine. I was wondering if it was possible 
to have it all on just one machine and NFS mount it?

I have already been doing this for the /usr/ports/distfiles directory, 
but had not shared everything else as I was not sure if settings from a 
build on one machine may cause problems when building on another machine.

Each machine has it's own /etc/make.conf with settings such as the 
processor type, so it is important that one build can't effect another.

Your advice is appreciated!

Thanks
Rich
