Not if you use authentication keys on both ends via ssh (or ~/.rhosts -- bad idea). I've been participating in a project for several months now where I supplied the CVS admin a public key and I have a shell script that sets up my CVS environment (doing CVS_RSH=ssh, CVSROOT="...", and doing "eval `ssh-agent`; ssh-add" to set up ssh authentication for the current terminal. I don't have anything to do with the server, but they're also filtering on IP address(es). I never have to issue the login directive (just my passphrase when I run the shell script, ssh-agent handles the rest). But, I really don't know much about administering CVS (I just use directory under $HOME for my personal projects...). > but when it said 'connection refused' it meant it, since i was > trying to connect on my external ip, but i'd told xinetd.conf to > bind pserver listenings to 192.168.1.1 -- DUH. > > i'm feeling MUCH better now.
