The fact is a category does not appear often and for those that know what they are doing it's been a week of: Server message: Unknown collection "ports-dns" This is the first time it's has taken this long for a new category to show up. There is also the fact it's missing from the example files, which should be fixed prior to 4.9R (cross posting to -stable). What needs to be done in such cases should be in the Porter's Handbook. 8-/ Jeff Mountin - jeff@mountin.net Systems/Network Administrator FreeBSD - the power to serve
