 === What do I do if `port selfupdate` doesn't work or the Rsync server refuses connections? ===
-First try `sudo port -d selfupdate` to get all errors to display. If your connection to the rsync server fails you may get blocked by a firewall or other network control software. If you run PeerGuardian disable all filters or create an exception for rsync.macports.org.  It is also possible to disable PeerGuardian before running a selfupdate command by typing the following command in Terminal, but make sure you stop all processes associated with PeerGuardian before doing this.
