yes this are made fresh from the fbsd ftp server. i've also checked
the distribution set in options and it is set correct (5.4-RELEASE).
the handbook only mentioned setting the Release name as far as cvsup
is concerned.

i found warning messages from tty2 though:

DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file
DEBUG: Warning: Zero length name or value passed to variable_set2(httpFtpMode)


the last one appeared six times in a row.
