I have seen references to a USA_RESIDENT make.conf entry. However, I
cannot find any reference to this variable in
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf, or the make.conf man page. Does this
setting still exist? If so, is there are documentation for it?
Thanks

I am having a problem with pkgdb and I am wondering if someone can point
me in the right direction. I was trying to update some of my out of
date ports with portupgrade and when I get a pkgdb error. Now whenever
I try to run any portupgrade command, or even and pkgdb command (like
pkgdb -Fu)
I have a question on what the handbook says about portsnap. According
to the handbook:
Adding the following line to /etc/crontab will cause portsnap to update
its compressed snapshot and the INDEX files in /usr/ports/, and will
send an email if any installed ports are out of date:
0 3 * *
I just have a quick question on some of the documentation I have read
about FreeBSD and it's ports collection. I read in the handbook that
the cvsup tag for the ports-* collection should be ..
In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections.
However, when I was reading the ports(7)
I second that. I have been doing the same thing (except running an
OpenBSD firewall that blocks the offenders via pf) and it works like a
charm.
