(I do wish freebsd manuals had more detailed examples!!). I used to do this stuff regularly (longer ago than I care to admit) - but it takes time to get back into it!

Cant find a way to give a password interactively so I had better create a file..*/ /* So I create a .cvspass with a blank line -- (Sourceforge demands a blank) */ dns1# cp /usr/home/Sysadmin/.cvspass /root/ dns1# chown root /root/.cvspass dns1# cvs -f -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/eclipsexul login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:2401/cvsroot/eclipsexul CVS password: cvs login: warning: skipping invalid entry in password file at line 1 /* Which was treated as invalid! */ dns1# pwd /usr/home/Sysadmin/cvs dns1# ls -l total 0 /* Try again adding '.' after eclipseexul */ dns1# cvs -f -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/eclipsexul. login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:2401/cvsroot/eclipsexul.
