Correct. "cvs login" only stores the default password to be used with a
particular CVSROOT setting, it does not create any kind of a connection
or session. You only need to login to a particular repository once (for
all time). When you first check out a working directory, CVS stores the
CVSROOT that you used and uses it for all subsequent operations in that
working directory -- that makes life much simpler for those of us who
use multiple repositories on a regular basis. Unfortunately, it makes
life more difficult for the occasional misguided user who wants to share
a working directory among multiple users. You can use the -d global
option to override the stored CVSROOT:
cvs -d $CVSROOT remove fileTestBEA
