Hi Pat, could you try specifying the full path to your .cvspass file and let me know if that works. The reason that it is hanging is that it is most likely waiting for you to enter authenitcation information because it can't find the .cvspass file in the current working directory.

It's me again.
I've read the posts on CVS and they helped me get this far, but now I'm genuinely stuck. I'm trying to pull a module out of our CVS repository. Here's my build file: <?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="CVStest" basedir=".">
<target name="checkout">
<cvs-pass cvsroot=":pserver:<username>@<IP address>:/usr/local/repository" password="<password>" passfile=".cvspass" />
<cvs command="checkout"
      destination="C:..\nant buildfiles\checkouts"
cvsroot=":pserver:<username>@<IP address>:/usr/local/repository" module="MODULE_NAME"
      passfile=".cvspass"
      verbose="true"/>
</target>
</project>
The .cvspass file is in the directory with the build file, and although I've never seen a .cvspass file (or any kind fo password file) before, it seems to be holding the right info. This is what it looks like inside the .cvspass file: :pserver:<username>@<IP address>:/usr/local/repository [and then some gobbledygook I assume to be my encrypted password] However, when i run the build (type; nant -verbose+ checkout in the prompt), this happens: checkout:
 [cvs-pass] Updating .cvspass file 'C:\...\nant buildfiles\.cvspass'.
      [cvs] Using ssh binary:

It almost looks like it's doing something because the prompt doesn't "refresh" itself (not sure how to put it), it's just empty. However, files aren't being checked into the designated folder or anything... I've given it ample time to do its magic before quitting out. I don't *think* it should take more than 3-4 minutes to give me some sign of life, right? Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
Pat
BTW my supervisor's out until who knows when, but when he comes back I'll hopefully be able to send in that "unresolved externals" repro
