I sincerely hope you do not. Don't use telnet, use ssh!

Yes. Well, you can't update the systems directly via cvsup. (Yes,
I know, but let's stay simple here.) What you can do is fetch/update
the source tree by cvsup and then rebuild the system.

The tarballs are *not* distributed as part of the ports collection.
You can just get the ports collection with cvsup.

You should read the corresponding sections of the FreeBSD handbook.
Should be under /usr/share/doc on your system. You can also find
the lastest version at the FreeBSD web site.

And that's something you want to disable if you care to get answers.
