Its not necessary to change the permissions of your entire home area to do this, which I agree is a bad idea. It is enough to just clone the git ports tree in a sub-dir that has read access for all. Just create a directory in your home area (say Foo) and then clone the git ports tree into that. By default that new sub-dir will have read access Oberon ~ > mkdir Foo Oberon ~ > ls -lth | grep Foo drwxr-xr-x 2 chris staff 64B 14 Jan 19:35 Foo I have been doing this for years and have no troubles… Chris
