You are adding cvs characteristics to a cvsup mirror. Somewhere in there, I think you are confused but I don't know where. The cvsup mirror works perfectly. It cuts down on your use of a slow internet and lets you use a 100Mbs internal network. The whole purpose is to cut down on traffic to your favorite mirror and cvsup-mirror does an excellant job of doing that. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
