portaudit -solved

[Richard KHOO Guan Chen]

Thank you Sahil Tandon

I have solved the problem. My ISP uses proxy  for http (I think) as I have 
closed off port 80 and opened port 8080, and that has got me to the web 
with no problem. I have also been able to use ports installation with my 
ipf firewall setup, so I could not understand why portaudit command 
failed. I have now opened up port 80 and get the thing working.

Your message got me thinking in this direction as you confiremed that the 
file is from http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports.

Once again thanks and apologies for the late reply.
