:pserver: is a completely separate execution path from using :ext: (or

For :ext:, the user needs their own account and they will be running
commands from their clients like:

   ssh cvs-server-machine.your.domain cvs server

in order to start a 'cvs' command on your server machine with the
'server' argument.

Yes,
I knew they needed their own accounts. As for how the connect, they
will be doing so from Windows boxen, from within the Eclipse IDE
software. It may internally do as you say above, but that's not really
what is concerning me.

Are you saying I have to give up the feature of having all user
sessions running as cvs, if we use extssh? I would prefer not to have
files in the repository owned by the various developers, but have owner
and group be cvs, which I currently have with pserver.

>From the way you describe how users connect when using extssh, it
sounds like both the login passwords and the subsequent file transfers
will all be encrypted, yes? That is what I'm looking to have, while
keeping everything as owner & group cvs.
