For some of the ports where you can use SASL, all you need to do is set WITH_SASL= yes in your /etc/make.conf (or the equivalent in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf) and reinstall. For some of those ports, that will cause '-sasl' to be added to the port name. Other ports have both sasl and non-sasl versions, and you just have to install the appropriate one. A further set of ports use the OPTIONS mechanism. Look in /var/db/ports for all of the options you've set previously. For options using ports, you set the options using the pop-up menu the first time you install the port, and those settings are remembered even if you completely deinstall and reinstall the port. You'll only see the options setting dialog again if: * The set of available options changes with a new revision of the port * You run 'make config' in the appropriate port directory * You delete the appropriate directory from under /var/db/ports That last option is not generally recommended -- better to use the mechanisms built into the ports system.

It doesn't seem as if the cyrus-sasl2 port has an option menu. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
