If that is a problem then maybe a global environment file should be put into place that will export that variable directly to user-land for consumption. FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is already set via login.conf. Would there be any harm in exporting one more for PKG_DBDIR instead of having that in the Make files at all ? I think something a little more solid should become of this variable than whats in place now. -- Regards, (jhell) Jason Hellenthal
