as spelled out the commands were taken unmodified from http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html#examples http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldGetSrc which formats the commandlines differently was followed in separate tries, as spelled out >> Im following the intructions as specified on >> http://openbsd.org/anoncvs.html and http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html doing fetch and update of src and xenocara using cvs does not give the error message (using the same cvs mirror as with ports (several different mirrors have been tried)). as ssh is the suggested problem any help with troubleshooting what happens to the ssh connection is appreciated as is requests for additional information that can be of help. thanks
