Hi,

I've been installing a few ports (great tool btw), and I've noticed that typing 'make install' in an app directory will perform an md5 checksum to verify that the download is legit and not corrupt. Is there anything similar done when using cvsup? Is there anyway to verify that the ports collection update that I'm receiving through cvsup is legit and not "trojaned" or altered in some other way?

Thanks in advance, Steve
