Re: Mentioning port number on CVSROOT from IRIX

[Mark D. Baushke]

The ~/.cvspass file moved to a canonical CVSROOT which included port
number occurred for version 1.11.1 of cvs. You will probably need to
upgrade the version of cvs on your irix machine to a newer version or
use a transport where the port number is not a problem (:ext: using
either rsh or ssh). 

This may have been mentioned/described in the NEWS file that comes with
the cvs sources...

        Good luck,
