As shown above it writes out checkouts files as if it is supping, but
the output remains the same as it was in my first email and nothing ever
lands in /usr/src. It takes a matter of seconds to complete a cvsup
run. I needed to get a new world up and running on this box so I've
since just gone ahead and done an anoncvs checkout. I guess it wouldn't
hurt to ask John Polstra.
John if you would take a look at this along with my initial email at:
http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1647366+0+archive/2000/freebsd-questions/20001015.freebsd-questions
and tell me what you think is going on I'd appreciate it.
