Hi,

  I was thinking -ports is for malfunctioning individual ports.
Whereas the matter at hand is about general infrastructure (every server
needs some ports) and deploy.

I currently have no idea where to find the people interested in that,
but the port options setting being unconditionally interactive
is a conflict with any automated deploy. I always have to hack and
refactor this - and that new tool doesn't improve anything (in that
regard), it just adds some malfunction (and forces me to understand
the new code).

But okay, when I'm in a relaxed mood again I will try and do a writeup
of the issue and send it to -ports. Let's see if anybody there is
interested...
   
cheers,
PMc
