The file should look like this: *default host=cvsup1.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/home/ncvs *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress *default tag=RELENG_3_4_0_RELEASE src-all cvs-crypto ports-all doc-all You may also want to use a different site, as the higher numbered ones tend not to be used as much. I use cvsup7.freebsd.org and get excellent response time. -- Walter Brameld in·tel·lec·tu·al n. Someone who has been educated past his/her level of intelligence.
