So could someone explain what is going on then with ext and RSH_CVS? For example, when I do export RSH_CVS=ssh export CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot then cvs co somemodule
what is actually happening is ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cvs -d /cvsroot co somemodule' Is this correct? Ron On Tue, 2003-03-25 at 03:18, Wolfgang Mettbach wrote: > Hello, > > Mark D.
