If you want to have identical code on all of your systems, you need
to specify your update by date rather than "the latest -STABLE" (which
is what the tag you are using does). Unfortunately, I don't know
the details of how to do that, so I can't help with that part.
To restate that, the cvsup tag you are using always fetches the
latest 4.x code, whatever that may be. Unless you cvsup all of
your systems at the same time, they will likely end up with
different code, because -STABLE is continuously updated.
The 4.3-RC you fetched is, by the way, exactly the same thing as
the latest 4.2-STABLE. There is no difference. It is NOT a snapshot
of -CURRENT.
Good luck.
