Hi Colin,

Thanks for your reply.

> What makes you think that the crypto code is missing?

When I try to install www/apache20 from ports, I get this error:

Dependency error: this port requires the OpenSSL library, which is part of
the FreeBSD crypto distribution but not installed on your
machine. Please see the "OpenSSL" section in the handbook
(at "http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/openssl.html", for instance)
for instructions on how to obtain and install the FreeBSD
OpenSSL distribution.
*** Error code 1

I presume that since OpenSSL isn't installed, the crypto dist would be missing too? What's the best way to verify that?

Great news :-) 

Many thanks for your help,
Matt
