I don't have KDB_UNATTENDED in my kernel configuration..

if you would like to give it a look you'll find it here:
http://www.nunnisoft.ch/JUPITER
and here is my rc.conf:
http://www.nunnisoft.ch/rc.conf

but I just found out something was wrong with perl..
I had perl 5.6.2 and perl-5.8.6_2.. but calling
use.perl system would let me without any soft links
in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, while use.perl port
would create links for 5.6.2.. so I deinstalled 5.6.2
and portupgrade -f 5.8.6.. hope that fixes something..
I'll let you know.

I'm going to get some sleep now..

Thank you for your time, Kris.

Best regards.
