Install cvsup-mirror-1.2 in ports/net. It's easy, asks a few questions, and then you're almost ready. You do have to change one file: /usr/local/etc/cvsup/config.sh , because it defaults the host to cvsup-master.freebsd.org. Change that to cvsup5 or another server of your choice. As I understand it, only JKH can give you access to -master if you want to allow that repository to be accessed by everybody. The first run takes major bandwidth because you're downloading ALL the stuff, but after that, you're just getting changes. I just run mine once a day at 5am, or manually as needed. The updates to your local machines will sure go faster! Getting everything, it currently takes: root@cvsup:/usr/mirror #du -d 1 -c -k 1119309 ./source 70830 ./www 170799 ./gnats 568698 ./mail 1929637 . 1929637 total -George On Tue, 20 Feb 2001, Linh Pham wrote: *Hello, * *With more and more FreeBSD servers popping up in the company that I work *for, I would like to mirror a CVSup server but make it available to only *machines within our network or trusted machines.
