Re: Install CVS on SunOS 10/cvs ssh nonstd port

[Jason Brown]

Not that I'm one of the guru's, but hit this myself a while back and it was a 
pretty straightforward solution.

CVS doesn't 'talk' ssh natively, it was mostly an add-on and as far as I can 
tell all recent versions don't recognize nonstandard ports.  But you're not 
out of luck--ssh is smart.

edit ~/.ssh/config and add:
Host [abbreviation]
Hostname [x.com]
User [myuserid]
Port [myport]

setenv CVS_RSH=ssh
setenv CVS_ROOT=:ext:[abbreviation]:[repos]

cvs ...you know the rest.  There's probably actually a FAQ somewhere on this.
