That needs a fixin I'm also concerned about *default base=/var/db as well Perhaps consider a wonderful beverage and about 15 minutes of your time to carefull read the CVSup section of the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Then, if you feel like I did after trying to figure out CVSup for the first time, you may find my CVSup notes helpfull (shameless plug sorry) http://www.isgsp.net/freebsd/index.html I hope this helps Take care Steve Quinn ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
