Hello list I have a LAN of 10 freebsd machines and seek to minimise bandwidth usage by running a local freebsd cvsup mirror, so I installed cvsup-mirror out of ports. This seemed to progress well, and the install script announced I was now a freebsd-mirror. What it does not do is to fill in the auth file in /home/cvsupin/.cvsup and I find I have to run cvspasswd in order to get this, otherwise I get error messages like: spod# less /var/log/cvsup.log CVSup update begins at 2001-09-23 04:07:06 Updating from cvsup-master.freebsd.org Connected to cvsup-master.freebsd.org No record for server "freefall.freebsd.org" in "/home/cvsupin/.cvsup/auth" CVSup update ends at 2001-09-23 04:07:06 cvspasswd generates a password line comprising of my email address and a md5 hash and instructs me to place the string cvsup-master.freebsd.org:email@your.domain:xxxxxx: (where xxxx is your plaintext password) into auth and to send the md5 hash string in a secure email to the upstream mirror admin (in this case cvsup- master.freebsd.org (aka freefall.freebsd.org) The question is, am I doing this correctly (I don't need write access to the upstream repository, so why the personal login) who would I need to contact, and what is their public key? any info/help appreciated -- John - freebsd-lists@i-zone.demon.co.uk - jfm@reiteration.net http://www.reiteration.net/~jfm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
