Hmmm, thanks for info, this kstuff is really much much better than strace :). Never heard of that, but now I am pretty impressed.

(btw, what's > wrong with (cd /usr/ports/ ; make update) , or a cvsup cmd line?) Portsnap is working pretty well in normal shell. I was using cvsup before portsnap, but now, as portsnap is being part of base system I am considering to switch to it on all our production servers. I am also going to give a try to make update in /usr/ports.
