If firewall holes are of a concern, state all that's needed is a single outbound (not inbound) permit rule be placed for TCP port 5999. As long as the non-FreeBSD box runs some form of *IX, you should be able to build cvsup and run it there. Otherwise, if such truly can't be done, possibly the conversation should be moved to freebsd-hubs where cvsup server owners reside and can comment on which ones offer rsync access, etc.. Yes, some of them do run an rsync daemon, but it's not a requirement. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
