If you goto http://www.freshports.org/ and search for apache you can view the history of the port and see when / why it was added: http://www.freshports.org/www/apache13/ if you look down to the 1.3.29-1 update you find: Add warning file names to *-dist directories to prevent people modifying them. Also: [21:04:19] munk@users /usr/ports/www/apache13# grep EXAMPLE_DIRECTORY-DONT_ADD_OR_TOUCH_ANYTHING . -ri ./pkg-plist:www/data-dist/EXAMPLE_DIRECTORY-DONT_ADD_OR_TOUCH_ANYTHING ./pkg-plist:www/cgi-bin-dist/EXAMPLE_DIRECTORY-DONT_ADD_OR_TOUCH_ANYTHING ./Makefile: @${TOUCH} ${PREFIX}/www/data-dist/EXAMPLE_DIRECTORY-DONT_ADD_OR_TOUCH_ANYTHING ./Makefile: @${TOUCH} ${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin-dist/EXAMPLE_DIRECTORY-DONT_ADD_OR_TOUCH_ANYTHING so you can see the command is executed via the Makefile. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
