Well, things are still weird :)

If I run this

sandbox# pkg-get -U
it downloads from sunfreeware, and creates that /etc/pkg-get.conf

if i do do this

sandbox# `which pkg-get` -U [notice the backticks]
it downloads from sunfreeware and creates /etc/pkg-get.conf

btw, which pkg-get displays /opt/csw/bin//pkg-get which is the one I  
want, so that's super strange

Finally, if i do

sandbox# /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -U
.. it downloads the proper update files from blastwave and all is fine.

So in short, it looks like I *must* use the full path. Which is  
bizzare to me.

Idea's?
