Hello, I've just installed 8.1 from distribution CDs and updated stable with cvsup. I want to enable freebsd-update to keep the system, well, updated. First try, 'freebsd-update fetch' yielded a number of failure messages regarding the public key. Found a fetch address to get the key manually, put it in /var/db/freebsd-update, and ran again. Now I get: hostname# freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 8.1-STABLE from update4.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 8.1-STABLE from update5.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 8.1-STABLE from update2.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 8.1-STABLE from update3.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. This is the case even when rule 1 of ipfw is 'allow all from any to any'. What am I missing? Thanks, Kyle -- Kyle Dippery Engineering Computing Services Phone: (859) 257-1346 280 FPAT 0046 Fax: (859) 323-3848 UK - One Great Place to Work
