I tried adding a rule to allow ftp outbound and although I can ftp out, I still cannot fetch the source tarball when using the make command in /usr/ports. What else needs to be open for the make command to work? Thank you, Michelle I believe it likes to use port 5999 for cvsuping..... I am able to use cvsup with our firewall. The problem is when actually trying to install the software using the make command since the make command tries to fetch the source tarball from a remote server using ftp. I cannot get ftp to dowload data through our firewall. Is it possible to use the make command without opening up our firewall completely or is it best to put the source tarballs in /usr/ports/distfiles manually?
