Thanks, that's totally it.  I added PACKAGEROOT to setenv in the default
class: 

:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES,PACKAGEROOT=http\c//pkg.accid.net:\

I also had to comment out a line in sudoers to preserve the package
related variables:

Defaults        env_keep += "PKG_PATH PKG_DBDIR PKG_TMPDIR TMPDIR PACKAGEROOT PACKAGESITE PKGDIR"

Now both, users and daemons are enjoying new packages.  


Massive thanks for all replies,



Andrew
