If you want to have identical code on all of your systems, you need to specify your update by date rather than "the latest -STABLE" (which is what the tag you are using does). Unfortunately, I don't know the details of how to do that, so I can't help with that part. To restate that, the cvsup tag you are using always fetches the latest 4.x code, whatever that may be. Unless you cvsup all of your systems at the same time, they will likely end up with different code, because -STABLE is continuously updated. The 4.3-RC you fetched is, by the way, exactly the same thing as the latest 4.2-STABLE. There is no difference. It is NOT a snapshot of -CURRENT.
