Fetching public key from update.freebsd.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. Thinking perhaps a networking issue, I checked the machine is accessible... mobius# ping update.freebsd.org PING update1.FreeBSD.org (72.21.59.252): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 72.21.59.252: icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=64.557 ms 64 bytes from 72.21.59.252: icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=64.580 ms ^C --- update1.FreeBSD.org ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 64.557/64.569/64.580/0.012 ms It responds with update1, so I tried again using update1.freebsd.org (and several others that I could ping) but it always gives me the same response. A quick check of the handbook and the man pages for both freebsd-update(5) and freebsd-update.conf(8) didn't tell me much about this. I'm sure it's something stupidly simple. Does anyone have some ideas? Rich Mahlerwein
