I'm trying to set up sup to mirror parts of the netbsd source.  I keep
getting errors like:

     # sup -fv supfile
     SUP 8.26 (4.3 BSD) for file supfile at Mar 20 21:34:31
     SUP Upgrade of current at Fri Mar 20 21:34:31 1998
     SUP Fileserver 8.13 (4.3 BSD) 6676 on sup.netbsd.org at 21:34:31
     SUP Requesting changes since Dec 31 17:00:00 1969
     SUP: SCM GOAWAY Can't read list file sup/current/list/pkgsrc
     SUP: Error reading file list from file server
     SUP: Upgrade of current aborted at Mar 20 21:34:33 1998
     SUP: Aborted

and can't figure out what is wrong.  My supfile is (without the \ and
all on one line):

    current release=pkgsrc host=sup.netbsd.org hostbase=ftp/pub \
	    base=/usr/local/sup prefix=/usr/local delete execute

This seems to follow the man pages and the README.sup file.  Any
suggestions?  Do I need to set up more than the sup file on my client?
Can someone send me a supfile that actually works?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Brook
