It seems like this shouldn't be hard, and google s= eems to agree. There must be something stupidly simple messed up with my s= ystem, or configured incorrectly. =0A=0AWhat protocols/ports does freebsd-= update use? Watching tcpdump while running freebsd-update shows no traffic= whatsoever relating to this that I can tell. Makes me wish for a "verbose= " mode on freebsd-update. I fiddled with truss, but that seems harder to i= nterpret than strace on linux (which I'm installing from the ports as I wri= te this).=0A=0AI mean, I'd just update it the old fashioned way, but now I'= m curious (and, let's face it, I've not updated it in quite a while, so I s= uspect another day or two won't hurt any more). I'm about to add a "verbos= e" option to freebsd-update and see if I can get it to print out in more de= tail what it's actually trying to do...=0A=0A=0A=0A
