Finally got it all working! woho! Only question I have left is can you
make files read only in smartCVS so that users have to select the file
for editing first, to stop other users being able to edit the same file
at the same time?
Thanks for all the help!

Well, you need to get the server to allow your ssh logins.
But doesn't is leads to 'shell access' to the user? I do not want to
