The refuse file doesn't go in "base" but in "base/sup" :-) The manual page of cvsup is a bit cryptic, but does eventually make sense: | SYNOPSIS | cvsup [-1aDeEgksvzZ] [-A addr] [-b base] [-c collDir] [-d delLimit] | ... | -c collDir Specifies the subdirectory of base where the information | about the collections is maintained. The default is sup. | ... | As many as three refuse files are examined for each supfile line. There | can be a global refuse file named base/collDir/refuse which applies to | all collections and releases. There can be a per-collection refuse file | named base/collDir/collection/refuse ... With the default base and collDir values of /usr and sup, the global refuse file is /usr/sup/refuse, as you have already found out judging from the other posts in the thread. Just thought I'd explain *why* it is looked for in that place, too :) Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
