naddy@bigeye[~] ls /usr/share/examples/cvsup/
README                  ports-supfile           stable-supfile
cvs-supfile             secure-cvs-supfile      standard-supfile
doc-supfile             secure-stable-supfile   www-supfile
gnats-supfile           secure-supfile

The directory listing above is from a -CURRENT system, however I
just verified that those files are the same on -STABLE. The choice
of standard-supfile plus secure-supfile is correct.

There may be some particular snags involved at this stage, but
basically it *is* a normal making-the-world procedure as detailed
in the handbook.
