RE: What should I do with CVS after IP address changed

[dzielke]

In bash (and ksh), you can also do it on just one line:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs-rep

Like Chris suggested, you should put this in the .bashrc file.

Since your CVSROOT environment variable is NOT set, you'll
have to do a cvs -d :pserver:<etc> <cvs command> every time.

You don't have the c-shell, but the bash shell, hence the
bash error. Try 
   > set CVSROOT=:pserver:<etc>
   > export CVSROOT

You can add these lines in your /homedir/.bashrc file.
