If port 5999 is blocked, chances are your firewall admin doesn't even know what CVSup is. If you send him an email he'll probably open it for you. Make it clear that opening port 5999 allows you to more easily keep your boxes up to date and more quickly respond to security vulnerabilities on your systems. Your firewall admin knows that security comes in layers and shouldn't be adverse to you keeping your systems secure. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
