Hi Dan, I used to connect to an anoncvs server from my laptop through my gateway. it ran fine. Here's what i used: From the laptop: % ssh -2 -N -f -L 2401:anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:2401 gateway % su -m # export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@localhost:/home/ncvs # cd /usr # cvs login (Logging in to anoncvs@localhost) CVS password: <-- as pwd type anoncvs and then # cvs co -rRELENG_4 src The difference from your case and mine (without talking about my gateway) is on the ssh command line: ssh -L 2401:localhost:2401 cvsup.example.org seems weird for me. From ssh manpage: -L port:host:hostport Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. here you forward 2401 on your localhost to 2401 on your localhost... so maybe the issue is there. I hope i could help you a little. Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
