Subject:   Using CVSup on a temporary PPP connection ?
Message-ID:  <H000057c0163407a@MHS>

     Hello,
     
     I would like to track the developpment of -stable on my home box, so I 
     loaded the repository (from the 2,2.6-R CD-ROM) on a separate 
     partition of my disk. I wanted to get up to date with stable (via 
     CVSup).
     
     My connection to the Internet is via a PPP link, and the IP address 
     for my end of the PPP link changes from connection to connection. As I 
     don't have a permanent IP address, the name of my machine is still 
     mymachine.my.domain (dafault of rc.conf).
     
     cvsup complains because it can't resolve this name.
     
     I could get around this by setting the host name after the the PPP - 
     linkup, but it is a kludge (and this won't work when I set up a 
     private network with PPP aliasing).
     
     Is there a better solution ? (CTM ?)
     
     
        TIA
     
     
        TfH
