You might want to look at the thread on freebsd-questions titled 'portsnap ignores REFUSE directives' REFUSE directives must start a line in portsnap.conf -- your leading whitespace is making portsnap not recognize the option. I guess that settles that. :-) Nice to know that folks higher in the FreeBSD 'food chain' are so quick to respond and help. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

portsnap ignores REFUSE directives
Hi, I just installed 6.4-RELEASE on the way to -STABLE. I chose NOT to install the ports during installation. I configured /etc/portsnap.conf, uncommenting the REFUSE directives, because I only speak English. I created the proper directories, including /usr/ports. I ran 'portsnap fetch extract', and now I find arabic, chinese, french, german, hebrew, hungarian, etc. in my ports tree. What might be the problem here? -- Thanks, Charles Things that make you say, Hmm...
