Might be as simple as putting this in your /etc/inetd.conf on the system with the artifacts.... the httpd server that comes with the OS works well enough: http stream tcp nowait:600 _httpd /usr/libexec/httpd httpd -X /build/pkgsrc/packages/All Then you can use 'http://whatever.the.above.system.is' as the URL. I do this with pkg_add (don't use pkgin).... -- Brad Spencer - [email protected] - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
