You want to *set* default values for some variables. To set default values, you need to have an '*' character before the word 'default'. E.g.: *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_6_0 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all Note that you do not want to add a '*' before 'src-all', because 'src-all' is the name of a collection that you want to track. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
