FreeBSD tapir.schwarzes.net 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Sat Jul 18 00:05:39 CEST 2009     root at tapir.schwarzes.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/tapir.schwarzes.net  i386
>Description:
The public cvsup server "cvsup.de.freebsd.org" (cvsup1.de) asks for 
authentication (since many weeks), seems to be misconfigured, please 
point the DNS entry to a working one.

root at tapir:~ # csup -h cvsup.de.freebsd.org -g stable-supfile
Connected to 212.118.165.142
Authentication required by the server and not supported by client


root at tapir:~ # host cvsup1.de.freebsd.org
cvsup1.de.freebsd.org is an alias for cvsup.de.freebsd.org.
cvsup.de.freebsd.org is an alias for office.oberon.net.
office.oberon.net has address 212.118.165.142
office.oberon.net mail is handled by 5 mx01.oberon.net.
office.oberon.net mail is handled by 10 office.oberon.net.
office.oberon.net mail is handled by 20 mail.oberon.net.
office.oberon.net mail is handled by 30 mail.LF.net.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try csup with this server.
>Fix:
Use the main server, but this is not a fix. The idea of static configured 
local mirrors seems not to work, again and again there are problems with
them. It should be possible to set the address entries dynamically, depending
on function and "up-to-dateness".
