 Hi - new to this, but I have the latest Apple MacBookPro code of Lion,
 Xcode, X11, System Utilities, Unix Utilities and I get the following when
 I try to type:

 {{{
 MacBook-Pro-2:~ xxxx $ sudo port -v selfupdate
 Warning: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes?
 --->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
 rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Connection refused (61)
 rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at
 /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-42/rsync/clientserver.c(105) [receiver=2.6.9]
 shell command "/usr/bin/rsync -rtzv --delete-after
 rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base.tar
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs"
 returned error 10
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error synchronizing
 MacPorts sources: shell command failed (see log for details)
 }}}

 I am assuming that rsync.macports.org refusal is the issue here?
 How do I fix and/or join this list to allow update with the .dmg
 installation?
 Do I need to perform a full tar ball install to allow this to work?

 All I seek is putty actually....

Comment:

 Please remember to use WikiFormatting and to preview before submitting.

 Since your network apparently prohibits access to rsync servers, you won't
 be able to use selfupdate; you'll have to install MacPorts from dmg (or,
 if you prefer, from source) whenever you want to update MacPorts base to a
 new version. Further, you'll have to configure MacPorts to sync the
 portfiles using another protocol, such as http, and use "sudo port sync"
 whenever you want to update them. See [wiki:howto#HOWTOIndex Alternatives
 for syncing the ports tree without rsync] in the how-to index.
