This should be :ext:username@server:/path/to/repository. You seem to be missing the last ':'. You also need an environment variable that tells cvs to use ssh: export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh And make sure you export the CVSROOT variable somewhere too. > My question.

When I try: > cvs -z3 -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/CVS > > I get the page of options for CVS.... You don't need to use the -d option if you have your CVSROOT environment variable set correctly. Also, make sure the user 'test' exists on the server, and make sure the directory /CVS exists too. When testing the configuration, use a command like this to list the modules available: $ cvs co -c HTH -- Arend -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
