Whatever the magical incantation for p4 is it's well hidden after 15
minutes of poking around various docs

cally:~$ p4 -H perforce.freebsd.org
Perforce client error:
        Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
        TCP connect to perforce failed.
        perforce: host unknown.
cally:~$ p4 -p 1666 -H perforce.freebsd.org
Perforce client error:
        Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
        TCP connect to 1666 failed.
        connect: 1666: Connection refused
cally:~$


I'm sure I'm missing something simple.  If anon access is supposed to be
denied by design it's broken because the browser portion allows access
to the files themselves, although laden with revision prettyfication.
