RE: Remote CVS access via SSH

[Christopher.Fouts]

Thanks. This worked. However, instead of entering
the password 100,000 times (every CVS command), I
now have to enter the paraphrase 100,000 times (every
CVS command.) Again as you know this is combersome.
How can I manage this so I don't have to enter anything?
