With OpenBSD one can simply set the CVSROOT enviornment variable to "anoncvs@anoncvs.openbsd.org:/cvs" and get read access to the OpenBSD cvs tree -- no special account required. [assuming you have IP access and a recent version of cvs installed (e.g. 1.6)] A "common joe" should be happy with that? FreeBSD's sup and CTM service sound pretty good too (pretty quick sup scan cycle). cheers, Chuck -- Chuck Cranor, Graduate Student Computer and Communications Research Center Washington University, St. Louis MO USA E-Mail: chuck@maria.wustl.edu / cranor@udel.edu
