Need help with Portfile

[Behrang Saeedzadeh]

I did invoke the port with "sudo", but somehow didn't get passed to the
system command.

Here's my Portfile:

# -*- coding: utf-8; mode: tcl; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil;
c-basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:fenc=utf-8:ft=tcl:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4
# $Id: Portfile 124084 2014-08-18 17:05:27Z khindenburg at macports.org $

                    IP  addresses, MAC addresses, and SSH keys.
