Have you tried asking Likewise for the ports they appear to be using internally to build packages for FreeBSD? While the normal Likewise install location in /opt/likewise is non-standard, I suspect most likewise users hardcode it in their scripts. I know I do. It seems generally useful to ease the upgrade path from a likewise-open port to likewise-enterprise. -- Brooks
