Hi guys & gals.. I'm trying to get cvs to work on my BSD 4.6-RELEASE system.. and I'd like to make it easier to use for the clients loggin on. So what I'd like to do is set the CVSROOT variable to /usr/local/cvsroot However, when I try set this in .profile like so: CVSROOT=/usr/local/cvsroot; export CVSROOT It doesn't work The same if I set that in .login Or .shrc Can anyone tell me where I need to place this information to get it exported and stay exported whenever anyone logs in to the system?
