Have you played with pkgng at all? It's a bit new to use in production just yet, although reports from testers have been pretty positive so far, and it's perfectly fine for evaluation purposes. It will solve your main problem of not being allowed FTP traffic, as you can select a package repository accessible through HTTP -- like the main test repository http://pkgbeta.freebsd.org/freebsd-9-amd64/latest See http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
