I did that and everything went fine. I also successfully updated my ports with
cvsup. So that was indeed the problem I mentioned to you a few days ago. I now
have no firewall. That is not a problem, since this machine has nothing on it
(yet).

I had a look in there and got as far as reading the warnings "If you don't
know about packet filtering then you had better read these books ..."
followed by a list. I know someone who has these books, and can borrow them
when I am ready for it. I am still only on chapter 8 in Greg Lehey's book.
Meanwhile it is probably a good idea to go on without a Firewall turned on.
