I have gotten an nfs server set up on my laptop and I am able to  
connect to it from the NetBSD machine.  I have it mounted at /usr/pkgsrc

But I am beating my head against problems trying to compile  
anything.  I think I need some guidance regarding what variables need  
to be set in dealing with the readonly nfs mount.

I keep getting an error that no pkg-vulnerabilities file can be found.

I followed the advice given and installed the audit-packages.  Now,  
when I run the download-vulnerabilities-list script, it tells me that  
it is not different from the current one.  So there *is* a  
vulnerabilities file somewhere that this script sees (I haven't  
figured out where the download-vulnerabilities-list script puts it),  
but the make is not seeing it.

I have set up a mk.conf in /etc, with WRKOBJDIR=/usr/tmp/pkgsrc and  
BULKFILESDIR=/usr/tmp/pkgsrc

(by the way, in examples I sometimes see these variables set with =  
and sometimes with ?=; what is the difference?)

Then I get a fetch error: "fetch:  Cannot write to ."
***Error code 1

I assume it is trying to write to the mounted nfs, but cannot since  
it is readonly.  Can you help me with what I need to do?

Thanks for your help so far.
