Fournier scrappy@ki.net > Systems Administrator @ ki.net scrappy@freebsd.org Suping the CVS tree sounds like a an expnseive proposition, in terms of bandwidth and drive space. Rsyncing the CVS tree I would be acceptable in terms of on-going bandwidth, but doesn't address the other issues. -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
