Set up your respository then tunnel cvs over ssh like so in your .bashrc do export CVSROOT=":ext:username at your.cvs.host:/cvs" export CVS_RSH="ssh" adjust that path in CVSROOT to match your needs. Then when you run cvs co MODULE on the local machine, you'll be prompted for your shell account password. Be really slick and set up your ssh keys, ssh-agent, and use ssh-askpass from your .xsession like so: 1.) Use ssh-keygen command line util to create your key. 2.) copy $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub from your workstation to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server with the cvs tree (or any other machine you want to ssh to 3.) put the following in your .xsession #!/bin/sh eval `ssh-agent` ssh-add </dev/null # rest of .xsession stuff here i.e. starting window manager and restart X, You'll be prompted for your ssh passphrase. and then if everything worked you'll be able to ssh to the machine you stored your public ssh-key on without manually typing your passphrase / password (ssh-agent exchanges it with sshd on the other end) This is nearly a necessity when tunneling cvs over ssh, especially if you "cvs add" alot :-) > > And, of course, I've already wasted half my day tinkering with themes and > window managers.

Then that damnable Loki came along and gave quake3 and other kick ass games like that on linux. It's horrible I tell you!

Because I can ;) Well, let's see if you feel that way after fighting with FreeS/WAN :-) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
