I'm have never tried the ports system before. I have read through the faq and the man pages, but I get stuck at building dependencies. I follow through the fetch,checksum steps and then for 'make prepare' as local user, I'm greeted with following message. This is for the 'rsnapshot' package

Why doesn't a make install command as a local user while in 'net/rsnapshot' call doas on it's own?
