Some cvsups run fine, but now and then I have one looking like that: Subject: ports CVSsup on blues Sun Dec 1 09:55:40 MET 1996 finished Parsing supfile "/home/kuku/ports-supfile" Looking up address of freefall.cdrom.com Unknown host "freefall.cdrom.com" (this is from a cvsup -L 2 cvsupfile | mail I send to myself when cvsup is finished) Pinging freefall works fine. I'm just wondering whether this is a network problem (load, nameservers unreachable or some such) or if it might be a cvsup problem since the lookup is done by the program and the name search might be not 'hard enough'. --Chris Christoph P.
