I would like to keep the whole thing "freefall" oriented so I can keep 
things seperate so how about:

John Cavanaugh <john@freefall.cdrom.com>

I will send info to root@freefall.cdrom.com with my master.passwd entry.

Ok, i'll grab this directory and take a look at it.

Ok.  Is there a list somewhere of the mirrored domains that I should be
keeping an eye on?

I checked out the home page the other day and saw that www.au.freebsd.org
was actually mirroring the XFree86 home page. :-(

You're right about the CVS-Naivete <grin> but I will start taking a look
at the web pages.
