Hi, there is a problem with long (i.e. longer than 8 chars) passwords with cvs-1.10.8 under Solaris 2.6. When the cvs password is longer than 8 chars one can't login into cvs. The reason is getpass(3C) used in login.c. It accepts 8 characters only and therefore only first 8 chars of the password are sent to the server. In order to fix this I suggest to change getpass(3C) to getpassphrase(3C) which accepts max 255 chars while compiling under Solaris. I fixed it in the source and it works.
