There are two types of masking, and what you should do depends on how the package is masked exactly. Any way you can show me what you typed and exactly how portage responded? As an alternative, you could emerge netkit-telnetd, different telnet server. I use it only for the telnet client, so can't compare the two server programs. Either way, learning about masked packages is worth your time if you are seriously going to use Gentoo. - -- An ignorent man is never defeated in an argument. Joseph C.
