CVS User Reference

This section provides details on connecting to a repository, the structure of sandboxes, and using the CVS commands.

Repository Locators

CVS currently supports five methods for the client to access the repository: local, external, a password server, a GSS-API (Generic Security Services API) server, and a Kerberos 4 server (most Kerberos users will want to use GSS-API).

External repositories are accessed via a remote shell utility, usually rsh (the default) or ssh. The environment variable $CVS_RSH is used to specify the remote shell program.

Password server

:pserver:user @ host:path

Password server repositories require authentication to a user account before allowing use of the repository. Public CVS servers are commonly configured this way so they can provide anonymous CVS access. See Section 18.2.3.11, earlier in this chapter, for more information on anonymous CVS.
