And you were sure that all cvsup traffic was tunneled over
http? https? inside DNS queries? as a distinct IP-level
protocol? in a special Vlan directly inside Ethernet
frames? :-)

To add the info into Handbook might be a good idea, but I
just can't help smiling when I try to imagine how cvsup
working through a dedicated tcp port can cause frustration.

/etc/services is your friend.
