I think that the multiplexed mode is more appropriate for your needs since the passive mode will need 2 TCP connections from your machine to the CVSup-Server (one to the CVSup port 5999 and an abitrary other one). If you use the multiplexed mode, however, CVSup will work with a single TCP connection from your machine to the CVSup server's port 5999. The cvsup(1) man page explains this in detail, but basically your firewall must permit outgoing TCP traffic from your machine to cvsup.server:5999 and incoming TCP traffic from cvsup.server:5999 to your machine.

Hi For a stateful firewall: check-state allow tcp from my-server to outside-mirror cvsup setup keep-state Non stateful firewall: allow tcp from any to any established allow tcp from my-server to outside-cvsmirrror cvsup setup The port number for cvsup according to /etc/services is 5999(tcp) Hope it helps Peut -Original Message- From: stan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 August 2003 03:04 To: Free BSD Questions list Subject: What ports need to be open on a firewall to allow cvsup?

Assuming pasive mode cvsup, what ports would I need open? ~$grep cvsup /etc/services cvsup 5999/tcpCVSup # CVSup file transfer/John Polstra/FreeBSD cvsup 5999/udpCVSup # CVSup file transfer/John Polstra/FreeBSD You need these ports for outgoing. If you keep state on your connections, you don't have to use passive cvsup, but if you need it or want it for some reason, you'll have to pick a port range for incoming passive connections and specify those ports with -P in the cvsup args. See cvsup (1) for more details. Good Luck, Jason ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
