Probably. For the moment, I'm documenting the following behavior I have seen on a CURRENT system last updated on April 25. Note the marked lines: hades+charon:/tmp$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.xfree86.org:/cvs hades+charon:/tmp$ ls -l ~/.cvspass ls: /home/charon/.cvspass: No such file or directory hades+charon:/tmp$ cvs login Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.xfree86.org:2401/cvs CVS password: 1 cvs login: failed to open /home/charon/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting hades+charon:/tmp$ touch ~/.cvspass hades+charon:/tmp$ cvs login Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.xfree86.org:2401/cvs CVS password: 2 hades+charon:/tmp$ In the second attempt, just touching ~/.cvspass fixed things! I'll check the development sources of CVS to see if they have this fixed in their tree, and report it as a problem. When it's solved, and we have that version imported we can kill the added note :) -- Giorgos Keramidas - http://www.FreeBSD.org keramida@FreeBSD.org - The Power to Serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
