So, your machine isn't named freefall, so it doesn't matter that it's the FreeBSD tree or sources. The commitcheck doesn't/shouldn't allow connections except from freefall. The commit script sends email to people, and other misc. things are assumed if you use the stock files in the FreeBSD CVS tree. Nate
