This looks like you still have to type in the password from the terminal. I would like to update the source each night from a cron job. Is there really no way to do that? With OpenBSD i can simply do: # export CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.de.openbsd.org:/cvs # cvs co -rOPENBSD_3_3 src/sys cvs server: Updating src/sys U src/sys/Makefile cvs server: Updating src/sys/adosfs U src/sys/adosfs/adlookup.c U src/sys/adosfs/adosfs.h U src/sys/adosfs/adutil.c U src/sys/adosfs/advfsops.c U src/sys/adosfs/advnops.c cvs server: Updating src/sys/altq ^C without the need to type in a password. Seems i have to use CVSUP on FreeBSD.. - Heinrich
