When I do
fink selfupdate cvs
(as I'm doing right now) I am prompted for my Mac admin (login) password, not a 
remote password.
The same when I just do
fink selfupdate

Yes, I'm using Leopard. Built fink 0.27.8 (the version for Leopard, downloaded 
code) from source - see thread starting at
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg21294.html 
(with 0.28.7 reversed-digit typo in it)
Doing fink selfupdate cvs right now, so it works. I see that 0.28.0 is the 
current source download on the website.
Check your Mac firewall isn't too tight. As far as I know I'm using the cvs 
included with Xcode 3.0.

my selfupdate cvs complains curl can't find fink-0.27.11.tar.gz at any mirror. 
Do I have to download and build 0.28.0 myself? (I'm guessing that fink doesn't 
update itself across minor revisions.)

thanks,

L.
