pkg is installed by default, always. So, you either have: a) a busted installation b) your shell PATH for root doesn't include /usr/bin Try: bash-3.2# /usr/bin/pkg refresh (and you can drop the pfexec since you're running as root). If that works, then your PATH is set incorrectly. echo $PATH should tell you what it's set to. Cheers, -- Glenn
