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.
