What did you think that command was going to do? Do you have a full cvs ports tree under /home/ncvs? How did you get that? My understanding was that you wanted to put the ports tree on one machine (call it the "master"), then use it to install ports on other machines that are local to the master. The way to do that would be to use cvsup as normal on the master, and build all the ports there. Then you can use NFS to mount /usr/ports on the other machines, and install the ports on them as well. To speed things up, you can set WRKDIRPREFIX to point at local disk space on the client machines. You can even have the master machine build packages, avoiding the need to build the ports from source on the clients. Does that make sense to you? Do you need it described in more detail? Good luck. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
