Just set it up in /etc/fstab in the "slave" machines like this: yourportsserver:/usr/ports/usr/ports nfs rw 0 0 ...then you only have the one machine to cvsup and the other machines *think* it's just another directory. Of course you need to configure NFS, but it's easy to do and designed for this kind of thing. Best regards, Jack L.

Set up a local FreeBSD CVSup mirror (tivial if you use ports/net/cvsup-mirror) and have your LAN machines cvsup from there. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

rsync of /usr/ports on local lan?
Have a small network here of FreeBSD machines (-stable and -current). I have on my production FreeBSD machine setup an rsyncd via xinetd, and would like to rsync /usr/ports across to the other FreeBSD machines so I wouldn't have to crontab cvsup on all of them (thus putting more load on my limited bandwidth, and adding unnecessary load to the cvsup servers). Things appear to be working. However, I'm currently running the rsync commands on the client machines over ssh, which means I need ssh root access, on top of which using public key encryption (so I can crontab the rsync commands). Is there a better way to do this? Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
