I need to get to the work CVS server from home. It's not exposed to the internet but never fear! we have ssh -L and a convenient sshd host that is on the internets. So, locally
ssh -Llocalhost:1111:cvs.example.com:22 [email protected] and tell cvs that the server is localhost:1111 I do this all the time for lots of other stuff. Doesn't work for CVS because there's no way to tell cvs to tell ssh what port to use. Google gives lots of hits about using the host-specific Host directive in ~/.ssh/config but that won't work for me - it assumes I can see the CVS server directly and doesn't take into account that I have port forwarding in the way. Anyone know a way to get cvs to use any port other than 22? I'm receptive to alternate cvs clients with this support, just not ones that tweak ssh to do it. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
