Re: How to specify port with `cvs pserver'?

Hello,


Well, if I was using CVS from remote and SSH was installed on the
server side, and I had a UNIX account on the server side, I would set
these environment variables :

CVS_RSH=ssh
CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/path/to/repository

Then do "cvs command".

If I wanted to use pserver for some reason, I would first make an
SSH tunnel :

ssh -L 2401:localhost:2401 address@hidden

Then use this CVSROOT:

CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/path/to/repository

The SSH tunnel makes it look like port 2401 ( the CVS port ) is
open on the local host. I usually use the first method, the second
method only requires that you enter your password once to open
the tunnel, and again to do "cvs login", while the first will ask
for your password everytime you do a CVS command.



HTH,
Rob Helmer
