Up to date cvsup servers will reject your attempt to connect with an old cvsup. You can get a version of cvsup to install with pkg_add appropriate for your version of FreeBSD from: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jdp/s1g/ It's a good idea to send mail to majordomo@freebsd.org with the subscribe freebsd-announce message so you get announcements about critical stuff like this (and important security issues as well).
