Well, after spending a few hours reading all about CVSup,
downloading the
binary for my 2.1.5 machine, and getting a supfile from the stable
tree,
it's a no go.
Most of my FreeBSD friends were using sup to download the updated
source/port trees and this unexpected switch is causing no end of
trouble!
I appreciate all the (*free*) work the development team puts into
FreeBSD,
but if I may be so bold as to ask for at least a little information
and/or
steps needed switch from being a SUP user to a CVSup user?
Oh yes, here is the error I am receiving, and the three supfiles
I've
tried are attached:

I think you are using the sup supfiles, I maybe wrong though. Take a
look in /usr/share/examples/cvsup for the cvsup supfiles, they look a
little different. Though it took the sup fileserver to be down to get
me to figure out there was a new method, I wouldn't go back to sup now
if it came back up, cvsup is a lot faster and a lot cleaner.
