For reference, the version in ports is still 0.7_7, which seems absurdly old, considering the Flock project is up to 1.1 now. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] print substr(Just another Perl hacker, 0, -2); pgpGpGH3XMom2.pgp Description: PGP signature

You might find an unsecure port has been installed without realizing it. That much peril isn't necessary. If you must install a port with security vulnerabilities, you can define the flag on the command line at that time and only for that port: make -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES install -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
