I've set up several Debian systems and loaded the cvs package on them. I've had no problem using:
$ cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvsrep checkout myproject Now I have to do some work on a RH8 box to solve a particular problem. I found that I had to do this: $ CVS_RSH=ssh; export CVS_RSH to get the command above to work. On the Debian system, when I query evironments vars, I do not set CVS_RSH set. Why do the Debian systems allow the :ext: access method to work without having the CVS_RSH var set? -- Mike M. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
