Be sure to check your supfile contents.. as it will point to where the refuse file should go. i.e. *default host=cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr which would tell met that the "refuse" file should go in /usr/sup not /usr/ports where you have it. This is explained in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html A.5.3.1. The refuse file "The refuse file essentially tells CVSup that it should not take every single file from a collection; in other words, it tells the client to refuse certain files from the server. The refuse file can be found (or, if you do not yet have one, should be placed) in base/sup/refuse. base is defined in your supfile; by default, base is /usr/local/etc/cvsup, which means that by default the refuse file is in /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/refuse." -gf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
