Re: [Info-cvs] CVS with proxy server

[Derek R. Price]

To my knowledge CVS doesn't know how to do that.  Here are some possible
solutions:

1) You might be able to rig a proxy for pserver using transparent proxying.  I
don't know much about it but it was in the Linux Firewall or the Linux
IPCHAINS HOWTOs or someplace like that ( http://www.linuxdoc.org ).

2) If you have shell access to the proxy machine and shell access to the CVS
account, you can rig something like setting CVS_RSH=proxy-rsh-to-wherever.org;
and using a script to this effect:

    #!/bin/sh
    # proxy-rsh-to-wherever.org
    rsh proxy-machine rsh -l <remotecvsuserid> cvs-machine.wherever.org

3) Some combination of the above.  For instance using ssh, open a tunnel to
wherever.org through the proxy and pserver through that.
