I am trying to setup a NetBSD-current mirror site.. By mirror, I mean a machine
that is both a SUP client and a server. I need to do the following:

1. Sup the current collections from sun-lamp every few days
2. automagically untar the collections and overlay them into a tree that
   the mirrors what is going on at ucb.
3. Run the supserver so several clients on SLIP/PPP can sync-up to changes
   in the source tree during the night.

That way, when things change in the tree, only the files that get touched
need to be brought in over SLIP/PPP to the development machines here.

My server is a sequent symmetry (i386) running Mach 3.0 (MK80/UX42) with
the real CMU sup. program. 

When I try to have the sequent go and fetch acollection it barfs like this:

csh> sup -fv ksrc-common.supfile
SUP 7.26 (4.3 BSD) for file ksrc-common.supfile at Jan 23 20:35:05
SUP Upgrade of ksrc-common at Sun Jan 23 20:35:06 1994
SUP Fileserver 7.13 (4.3 BSD) 17166 on sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu at 20:35:06
SUP: Improper login encryption
SUP: Improper login to default accountSUP: Upgrade of ksrc-common aborted at Jan 23 20:35:07 1994
SUP: Aborted


The supfile looks like this:
csh> more ksrc-common.supfile
ksrc-common release=current host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/b/anon_ftp base=/usr/src/netbsd/usr prefix=/usr backup

Apparently, the CMU version and what the folks at UCB run are different. I want
to use the CMU version evertywhere because I also fetch Mach distributions.

What could I feed to sup for login= password= crypt=  to make this work?
