If you just want to update the local tree, don't bother with cvsup(1),
just use cvs(1),
# cd /usr/src
# cvs -d /cvs up -Pd .
For a remote (but not _too_ remote ;) machine, it's probably easier to
export your /cvs repository via NFS and then use cvs(1) too on the
remote machines rather than cvsup(1).
If you plan on keeping modifications in your local tree(s), you
definately want to be using cvs(1) over cvsup(1).
