I've got a number of FreeBSD desktops that I'm currently updating with rdist (command line and /etc/daily). But they are running dhcp which sets the host name (I know it doesn't have to but it does the way I've set things up) and they periodically change. So I grabbed cvsupd 15.4 and tried following the man page. Then installed cvsup 15.4 on the client, modified /etc/cvsupfile and ran it but it just comes back with empty supfile Any hints? -- Common sense is the most evenly distributed quantity in the world.
