[PLUG] CVS Server Question

[William A Morita]

Rich,

When I do that and try CVS login I get:

cvs login: can only use `login' command with the 'pserver' method
cvs [login aborted]: CVSROOT: :ext:wamorita at frodo:/shares/cvs-repository

I was wanting to use the tkCVS GUI.  That is why I want the pserver setup.

Thanks

Why not let ssh handle your authentication?
export CVSROOT=":ext:wamorita at frodo:/shares/cvs-repository"

The "ext" makes ssh do the authentication.  Pretty slick.
