Are you running Cygwin's ssh and cvs (i.e., "type -a cvs ssh")? Is your
CVS_RSH set correctly? What are the contents of your ~/.cvsrc? What are
the contents of ~/.ssh/config? What is the shell of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
set to (in /etc/passwd on kilimanjaro)?
Next step is to try actually executing "cvs server" via ssh. Run "echo -e
'Root /cvs\nnoop' | cvs server" from kilimanjaro first, and then from
Calvin via ssh -- make sure you get the same response from both. If that
response is "E Cannot access /cvs/CVSROOT\nerror ...", then see what the
"error" line says. If the response is "ok" instead, try playing with the
shell for Calvin on kilimanjaro to see what commands are actually sent
when executing the "cvs" command on the client...
