Up to date cvsup servers will reject your attempt to connect with an old cvsup. You can get a version of cvsup to install with pkg_add appropriate for your version of FreeBSD from: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jdp/s1g/ It's a good idea to send mail to majordomo@freebsd.org with the subscribe freebsd-announce message so you get announcements about critical stuff like this (and important security issues as well). =09Annelise --=20 Annelise Anderson Author of: =09=09 FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System for Your PC Available from:=09 mall.daemonnews.org and amazon.com Book Website: http://www.bittreepress.com/FreeBSD/introbook/=09 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
