I have a bandwidth manager running on FreeBSD 4.9 LOCAL. I want to install net-snmp so that traffic generated on the bwmger can be pointed to cacti (like mrtg). My problem is that I have gone through enough manuals to get assistance on which commands I should run to install the ports hierarchy. I have even tried using the cvsup utility but I get an error: "Parsing supfile "ports-supfile" Release not specified for collection "host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org". It doesn't matter which host I use, the response is still the same.

Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing out. Will really appreciate prompt response.

P.S. Can someone please recommend a FreeBSD book for dummies.

Thanks

Try something like this in your ports supfile:

*default release=cvs tag=.

Refer to /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile for a valid ports supfile.
