I have some further info...
'Listen failed: Port in use' is no longer an issue, I changed the cvsupd
command to:
# cvsupd -l /dev/stdout
Which makes it serve 1 client and then exit.

The issue now is that I cannot update /usr/local/etc.
After re-reading man cvsupd, I have done the following on curly:

# rm -dr /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr
# cd /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup
# mkdir local
# cd local
# echo "local list=3Dlocal prefix=3D/usr/local/etc" > releases
# echo "upgrade local" > local.cvs
# echo "rsymlink *" >> local.cvs

And on larry, I edited my /etc/mirror-supfile to include:
*default base=3D/disk2
*default release=3Dlocal
Local

Now cvsupd runs successfully on curly, *but* it shows:
0Kin+0Kout local/local
And no files are transferred from curly /usr/local/etc to larry /disk2/

What am I doing wrong?
