The problem is cvsupd - since it's written in Modula3 and doesn't
support IPv6 you have to use an inetd/netcat hack to accept IPv6
connections on the server. As mentioned in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2008-July/086710.html
cvsup18.freebsd.org and cvsup4.ru.freebsd.org both accept IPv6
connections.
