As I hinted at in my original response, If you'd rather keep your firewall rules tighter, pkg_add(1) says: Note: If you wish to use passive mode ftp in such transfers, set the variable FTP_PASSIVE_MODE to some value in your environment. Otherwise, the more standard ACTIVE mode may be used. If pkg_add consistently fails to fetch a package from a site known to work, it may be because you have a firewall that demands the usage of passive mode ftp. -- Kelly D. Grills [EMAIL PROTECTED]
