freebsd-update fetch fails if the default "ServerName update.FreeBSD.org" is not changed to "ServerName update1.FreeBSD.org" in /etc/freebsd-update.conf.
This happens on at least 6.3, I believe it is also the case in later versions but am unsure (7-RELEASE and later kill my networking card due to a kernel regression). I am wanting input before writing up a PR, to see if in fact I am just some isolated case, or if it has been fixed already in newer versions. uname -a: FreeBSD thinkpad.lan 6.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p5 #0: Wed Oct 1 05:34:19 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Nonfunctional: thinkpad# freebsd-update --debug fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
