Howdy,
I've put this (below) in my /etc/rc.conf ...

MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://gus.starling.ws/usr/pkgsrc_distfiles

...but it doesn't work because ftpd wants to login. How 
do I set it up for annonymous login, please? 

Why? Because I'm setting up a NetBSD machine at work and 
it is behind a firewall. I know I've got all I need in my 
laptop. So it would be way cool not to have to copy ALL 
of the tarballs over via ftp.

Thanks,

Gan
