My mistake. I found that in FreeBSD-CURRENT that csup does recognize
.csup/auth. Any timetable on when this will by MFCed to FreeBSD 7 and 8?
Incidentally, csup needs the following diff applied, so that I can
continue to use "FreeBSD" in my auth file:
195c195
< if (strcmp(auth->server, server) != 0)

I'll file a PR.
