If you have an account on a machine which has unshielded access to the net (e.g. the firewall machine itself) you can install a SOCKS proxy on the machine and use it as a gateway to traverse the firewall for things like cvsup (and ftp, telnet, etc). If set up correctly this is a secure gateway to the outside. You dont even need root access on the machine to do this (though you probably should clear it first, depending on how tight your site security policy is). Using this you can then use m3socks to get cvsup talking through the SOCK proxy. Kris WOWBO /\ . Through the darkness of future past, /\ .
