Logging in
If the repository you're working is using the pserver protol, you might want to login to it to avoid typing your password on every CVS action. However if you're very concerned with security you might want to skip this, the reason is that when you login the password is stored, although encrypted, on your local account in a file called .cvspass, but that's entirely up to you.
Logging in is done with the CVS command login. What we're going to do is to try to log in to a remote repository with an anonymous user, this gives us read-only access to the repository. To have something concrete to try it out on I'll use my own project on Sourceforge as example.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.RegExplorer.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/RegExplorer login |
You will then be prompted for a password. This is normally were you write in your password for the remote user, but in this case we simply press Enter(or Return). We are now logged in to the remote repository and no longer need to pass a password for all CVS operations.
Time to move on to the real commands.
