Dear Ion-Mihai,

I have installed cvsup, but I don't really understand the page that I
was refered to

===> SECURITY REPORT:
      This port has installed the following files which may act as network
      servers and may therefore pose a remote security risk to the system.
/usr/local/sbin/cvsupd
/usr/local/bin/cvsup
/usr/local/bin/cvpasswd

      If there are vulnerabilities in these programs there may be a security
      risk to the system. FreeBSD makes no guarantee about the security of
      ports included in the Ports Collection. Please type 'make deinstall'
      to deinstall the port if this is a concern.

      For more information, and contact details about the security
      status of this software, see the following webpage:
http://www.cvsup.org/
===>  Cleaning for ezm3-1.1_2
===>  Cleaning for cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_4

I have installed it using ports system, but still get same error as
above.  I try to use cvsup the file, I get nothing, I try to go to the
port that refuses to update and make install clean and it says source
not available or refused?

I have used ports before and had no problems, I don't know what to do.

Thank you and others who have provided help.
