The only thing I can get through the firewall is http (using a FreebSD machine with squid as a SOCKS proxy). Over time these machine have gotten quite out of date, and I need to update them. Any suggestions to how to do this? A cvsup mirror? If so, how can I get it's files? Copying /usr/src from a laptop that I cvsup from home? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
