Someone's already done it. Have a look at the newcvsroot script, distributed in the 'contrib' directory of the source code. > If I've been doing something horribly wrong here (other than having a > repository running off of DHCP ...there was no way around *that* > unfortunately), or there is an existing tool for this, somebody please tell > me.

The whole point of hostnames is to avoid having to worry about IP addresses. Why do people (you're not the only one, I see this all the time) insist on hard-coding IP addresses? Is it really that hard to set up hostnames and DNS systems? Heck, even adding an entry to /etc/hosts would work, then all you have to do is modify one line and away you go. - -- Jim Hyslop Dreampossible: Better software.
