Not sure if it really cured the problem but I replaced a year old /etc/login.conf and have run cvs several times now under those conditions without a problem. No problem other than the mess I made crashing while running cvs. Now my src and ports directories are not what they should be. Output looks like this: # cd /usr/ports # cvs -q update -d ? databases/postgresql/work ? editors/nvi-m17n/work ? games/icbm3d ? games/seabattle ? games/xskewb [...] A while back I found a trailing -d on my cvs command line was needed to create new directories found in the cvs repository. Is this correct? Understand the */work auestions but not the rest. So I found some disk space elsewhere an checked out another copy: # cd /r/usr1 # cvs -d /home/ncvs -q checkout -r HEAD ports Then a "diff -r /usr/ports/games/icbm3d /r/usr1/ports/games/icbm3d" indicates the questioned directories are missing CVS directories. Performing a checkout on top of an existing checked out directory doesn't appear to add the missing CVS directories. Have attempted removing the questioned directories. No more complaints from cvs, but the directories are not restored after an update. I use cvsup to update my /home/ncvs. Short of "rm -rf /usr/{ports,src}" and starting over, how can I correct this mess? (/usr/src is in the same state) -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
