I'm using 6.1-RC built on Apr 18 but that problem was there even on
6.0-RELEASE

Are you using an HTTP proxy? The pre-6.1 series portsnap did not play nicely with HTTP proxies. There were some patches committed in March or so to address PR's on the subject. I haven't had an opportunity to test the changes in my work environment (which requires HTTP proxy use) yet, but they look promising.

Yech, sorry. What I meant to say was that portsnap didn't play nicely with proxies *requiring authentication*. The patches should address that, though I haven't tried them personally.

The way to specify auth information should be:

           HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080
           HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:<user>:<pwd>

(from man 3 fetch).

Thanks,
Marty
