Good grief. 1) cvsup wasn't found (when you tried to run it) because the shell for root is csh/tcsh. When binaries are added/removed from directories in $PATH, you're required to type "rehash" to pick up the changes. This is specific to csh/tcsh. 2) It doesn't look like the host has its local network configured in a proper manner. How cvsup determines this is beyond me; your network must work *somehow* since your pkg_add worked. 3) Your last cvsup attempt was incorrect because you replaced a period/dot in the hostname cvsup.FreeBSD.org with a whitespace, which messed up the arguments passed to cvsup. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
