Anyway, in my experience here are the two most important things needed on the server: 1) you _absolutely must_ have these symbolic links set correctly! garyj:peedub:~:-bash:10> ll /usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/ total 0 lrwx------ 1 root wheel 8 May 16 2007 FreeBSD-crypto.cvs -> /u2/ncvs lrwx------ 1 root wheel 8 May 16 2007 FreeBSD.cvs -> /u2/ncvs 2) then just start cvsupd with reasonable command line options. I use -C 2. Then just create supfiles on the client and point them at your server. It's really rather trivial. --- Gary Jennejohn _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
