I have a remote-access issue here. I have a site that has a CVS checkout via ssh on one machine, but the actual developer that sits there is not always the same person. Each developer has a login at the CVS host. The CVS checkout is actually a live environment, which makes it impractical to keep copies for each developer. I want each developer to be able to check out, update, commit, etc., based on his/her account permissions at the server, but I'm having trouble getting CVS to ask for a user ID when a CVS command is issued. I'm rather new to the ssh method of access though, so apologies if I missed something obvious.
The approach in effect: - CVSROOT is :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/cvsroot - CVS_RSH is ssh (actually c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe) - The cvs.exe in use is the stock CVSHome version (not Cygwin's), because we need DOS/Windows line endings here. - cvs checkout works for user "id", but then user "id1" comes along and wants to update the sandbox. I tried setting CVSROOT to just :ext:domain.name:/path/too/cvsroot, but then CVS took my local user name as the user name and wouldn't ask me. In fact, the local user name is the upper-case equivalent of the CVS host's user name, but since the host is Unix, this isn't good enough.
