I have a 8.2R amd64 box I want to use to track -STABLE, having never done this before I'm pretty dumb about it. Starting with a basic -RELEASE install with "All" distributions, I installed the cvsup-without-gui port, made a copy of /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and customized the "*default host" bit, then invoked it thus:
[CMD="cvsup"]-g -L 2 stable-supfile[/CMD]
But it doesn't actually do anything. What I get (after waiting for several minutes) is:
Not just once, I've tried several different cvsup servers and this is always what happens (with the ones that don't immediately kick me off with "access limit exceeded" anyway).
My test box is behind a firewall and NATted as well, preventing any incoming connections, but I'm given to understand that cvsup's "multiplexed" mode should still work (I've verified that I can telnet to port 5999 on the server, no problems there).
What sort of horribly obvious things am I missing here?
