Now, the problem is that my host doesn't have a DNS entry, so I picked something arbitrary for the hostname. When I try to run cvsup, I get: Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its hostname correct? Looking through the man page, I can't seem to find a place to specify the IP or get around this. Is there a way?
