seems like cvsup1.freebsd.org is down, have you tried any other cvsup server? > bash-2.05b$ netstat -na |grep 5999 > tcp4 0 0 *.5999 *.* LISTEN are you running a cvsup server? if you just would like to update your ports-collections this is _not_ necessary. > Two bits of information: > > * I am accessing via a firewall.

Connected to cvsup1.freebsd.org. Escape character is '^]'. ! Access limit exceeded; try again later Connection closed by foreign host. cvsup1 is reachable again. hth, toni -- Kann man etwas nicht verstehen, dann urteile man | toni at stderror dot at lieber gar nicht, als dass man verurteile. | Toni Schmidbauer -- Rudolf Steiner |
