Hi,
I have 2 FBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p7 machines side-by-side on a home network,
curly and larry.
I want to mirror some directories from curly to larry with cvsup as an
exercise and as a backup.

The directories on curly I want to mirror are:
/root, /seeds, and /etc.

I have those working perfectly, now I want to add /usr/local/etc.

I created the directory /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc on curly.
I created /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc/etc.cvs and
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc/releases.

etc.cvs contains the lines:
Upgrade usr/local/etc
Rsymlink *

Releases contains the line:
Usr/local/etc list=3Detc.cvs prefix=3D/

When I start cvsupd -b /usr/local/etc/cvsup -C 1 -l /dev/stdout, I get:
# Listen failed: Port in use

I checked the handbook section on cvsup, may have missed the answer, but
no joy.
Can anyone point me to my error?


Thanks,
Charles
