Anytime sysinstall is run (after initial installation), it resets USA_RESIDENT=NO in /etc/make.conf as it starts up. Simply starting it and immediately exiting will cause this change to /etc/make.conf.

It was believed fixed some time ago (after 4.0-R) - are you still seeing the problem?

Kris

Yes. I'm pretty confident that it is not fixed.

You should be able to duplicate the bug on any system from sources after Feb 19th, 2000 I think. Just set USA_RESIDENT=YES in your /etc/make.conf, start sysinstall and exit right away. check /etc/make.conf and you'll find USA_RESIDENT=NO.

I'm currently working on a 'better' patch... if you are interested.
