There are example versions of various types of supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup. FYI, these require some editing in order for you to use them. It's probably also worth pointing out that you're better off using csup instead of cvsup, since the former comes with the FreeBSD system so it's always available. > I'm a Freebsd newbie Welcome. :) Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
