I'm using cvs pserver mode with the cvs that was distributed in FreeBSD. It works fine, but like all CVS installation it requires setup of the CVS server and such, so you can't support it 'out of the box' anymore than it already is. If you mean why doesn't freefall support it, it's because of security and use. > pserver mode has had a few security violations in the past, and it > wouldn't surprise me if has been turned of for that reason. It takes a bit of work to make pserver mode secure, and those security precautions simply weren't taken since the remote CVS stuff doesn't work well enough to use it on a regular basis. Nate
