Trying to set up cvs + ssh + mac client

[Matt Munz]

Hi All.

 

    Feel free to rtfm me on this.  I'd be happy to read a manual that *clearly* addresses this issue.  If you know about one, please let me know.

 

    I am connecting to my cvs server just fine with my win2k boxes running ssh1 clients.  I'm *not* using tunneling for this.  Cvs thinks it's using rsh via :ext:, and I have $CVS_RSH set to ssh.  But before I started patting myself on the back, I realized I needed to do the same thing on a Mac.  Not being as familiar with macs as I'd like to be, I went looking for notes on the web, without much success.  Now I'm here looking for solutions to the problem -- I'm trying to avoid hacks and "quick-fixes".

 

    I'd prefer to have a command-line type of client that connects to the server in the same way that my win2k boxes do.  I'd also prefer to use only free software that installs relatively easily.  Do you know of a cvs client + ssh client that fits this description?

 

    Back in the real world, any answers to the following questions would help a lot...

 

    Is there a command-line cvs client for mac?

 

    Can a mac connect to a cvs server using ssh w/o using port tunneling?

 

    If absolutely necessary, how can I set up a tunnel easily, both on the server (OpenBSD/Unix), and the client?

 

    Thanks for any help/advice you might have.
