No changes to cvs are necessary. If you are working on a sourceforge project, you need CVS_RSH to be "ssh.exe" or equivalent. If your "corporate CVS repository" is using RSH, then you need CVS_RSH to be "rsh.exe" or equivalent. To me honest, I really don't understand why the TortoiseCVS user is using rsh in the first place. AFAICT there was only one TortoiseCVS user that was doing this. Francis, did you ever ask him why he can't use any other protocols? - Brian _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
