Just set it up in /etc/fstab in the "slave" machines like this: yourportsserver:/usr/ports /usr/ports nfs rw 0 0 ...then you only have the one machine to cvsup and the other machines *think* it's just another directory. Of course you need to configure NFS, but it's easy to do and designed for this kind of thing. Best regards, Jack L.
