Hi, Couldn't these "security offender" ports be made to check for BATCH mode or a new IGNORE_SECURITY (or something like that) mark which should disable interactive dialogs? Then sysinstall would set that environment variable and be able to install these packages. What's your opinion ? BTW, it's time I should say it's been a _really long_ time since I didn't take care of the pine4 port -- mainly due to business/college. If there are people anxious of taking pine4 and/or imap-uw ports into their "hands" I welcome them to contact me. Else I'm prepairing to "come back"; Pine 4.30 is out and I sure would have liked 4.2-RELE to come out with that version. But now I should set for pine4 to be on the CD, right ?
