See, that's your problem... ;-/ Ted suggests that you read http://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/ and write a patch against /usr/ports/security/john/ But in case you decide you are willing to do that work, you might first ask benoit@, the port's MAINTAINER, whether including the "jumbo patch" (whatever that may be) really makes sense. I can't say, i don't use security/john. Also, send the patch to the MAINTAINER, not to misc@, and only go to ports@ in case the MAINTAINER does not react after reasonable time - say, a week or two. In general, for maximum usefulness of your suggestion, be specific, i.e. include patches. Though some suggestions without patches may be helpful, unfortunately most are not, but just amount to cheap talk... Yours, Ingo
