logging in automatically

[Daniel . Kirk]

Dear all,

I'm trying to build an automatic build script via ant.  I can't work out
how to by-pass the password authentication required by cvs,  to make the
build process a simple one-click and wait procedure.

The doco on the website says that you can pass the password when you login
:  cvs -d :pserver:username:address@hidden:cvsroot login

however that seems to be incorrect - that syntax makes cvs think that the
user is username:password, it doesn't interpret the password

is there any way i can pass the password to cvs so that it doesn't ask for
it?

thanks

daniel
