Hi
 I am trying out the cvsup mirror program and thought
I would laso give 6.X a whirl but I seem to have run
into a bug? 

CVSup update begins at 2005-10-26 19:48:40
Updating from cvsup-master.freebsd.org
Connected to cvsup-master.freebsd.org
Authentication required, but could not open
"/home/cvsupin/.cvsup/auth"
CVSup update ends at 2005-10-26 19:48:40

 If I create that file I get:

  CVSup update begins at 2005-10-26 20:33:07
Updating from cvsup-master.freebsd.org
Connected to cvsup-master.freebsd.org
/home/cvsupin/.cvsup/auth:1: Missing client name
CVSup update ends at 2005-10-26 20:33:07

 After much searching I found that I need something in
  the order of
serverName:clientName:Password:comment

 I tried freefall.freebsd.org as that was what was
setup for other things.. But that fails with:
 Server Error: Authentication Fails.

 Any tips much appreciatted. I just want to setup my
own CVS site so I can stop downloading multiple times
from the nice mirror sites.



  Thanks!

  NMH
