Hi all. I'm looking to make a non-privileged user the owner of all my software so I don't have to act as root when installing, configuring, and updating software. Furthermore, I won't have to give out the root password to others who need rights to configure software. I noticed my ports collection is entirely owned by root and requires root to install. Is there a way to install ports as a non-root user or allow non-root users to install ports? Thanks, Brian
