For selfupdate-cvs, make sure to give it _no_ password for anonymous access, as you don't have an account on our server--though that looks like what you've done. Talk to your system administrator some more about this. Also, my understanding is that Leopard's cvs does proxy handling as part of CVSROOT, and I'm not sure if fink handles that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
