I have figured out what was wrong with my /etc/hosts file and I have CVSup running now. Here is my supfile constructed following the example in the handbook: *default tag=3D. *default host=3Dcvsup3.us.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=3D/usr *default base=3D/var/db *default release=3Dcvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all I also have a refuse file as in the handbook to avoid downloading every language. I will be sure to ask again if I run into any more problems. Thank you for your help!
