Dick, John Polstra (the CVSup author) might be able suggest something when he returns to the list mid-month. I'd encourage you to email him directly at <jdp@polstra.com>. > Is there any way whereby I can tell the server to connect to the > firewall (in stead of my-host) on a given port or is there any way I > can specify a portnumber I can connect to on the server in passive > mode? Either way it would probably require modifications to CVSup and CVSupd. The former seems like it would be easier than trying to guarantee port assignments at the server for a particular run of passive-mode CVSup. > Any other suggestions ? It's probably not likely that you would change your firewall software (i.e. to socks) to get around this problem; however, might you locate an otherwise retired/discarded 386/486 machine outside the firewall with just ssh and cvsup? You could set up your own mirror and talk to it through the firewall using ssh port forwarding. If you are inclined to do this let me know, and I can help you with setting up your mirror. Good luck, -Chris
