Or do I need to > change my configuration? Your configuration looks fine -- given the hostname, I assume you're using variables in /etc/make.conf (ex. SUPHOST) to define the cvsup server's name and allow you to do "make update" in /usr/src and the like. The only thing I can think of is: when you installed FreeBSD, did you choose to install ports and src? If so, prior to running csup, did you "adopt" your existing data? http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html#caniadopt If not, I imagine what's happened is that the contents of /usr/src don't match what's in /var/db/sup/src-all. If you don't want to bother with adoption, you can do the following (be sure to back up your kernel configuration file first, unless you do what I do and use a symlink :-) ) to start over completely: rm -fr /usr/src/* rm -fr /var/db/sup/src-all csup -h {server} -L 2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile (Or standard-supfile, depending on what tag you want to follow) For this reason I don't choose src or ports when installing FreeBSD. I populate /usr/src and /usr/ports after the OS is installed, using csup. I've never had a single problem since. -- | 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.
