Re: Nooby question: need help with setting CVSROOT="/usr/local/cvs-rep"

It's working just as designed.  :-)  Variables that stay around "permanently" only stay that way as long as you are logged in.  I suggest adding it to your .bashrc file in your home directory.  UNIX/Linux process that file every time a new terminal session is opened and will set it automatically at that time as a part of your profile setup.

I'm trying to set the environment variable
CVSROOT="/usr/local/cvs-rep".  I use the export command like this in
the terminal:
export CVSROOT="/usr/local/cvs-rep".
When I exit the terminal, (which runs the default bash) the variable
cvsroot goes away.  I have looked   in a bunch of places which say that
the export command makes for permanent environment variables.  I am
running redhat 8.0.  Can someone tell me how I get the var to stay?
