Changing CVS passwords on Windows
Posted by doubleA on July 11, 2007
First of all – Use Cygwin, don’t use CVSNT. CVSNT writes the password to the registry instead of a file, and some apps don’t look in the registry.
1. Set your home directory
2. Open Cygwin
3. Issue the following command
cvs -d :pserver:username@servername:/pathToRep login
Then enter your password.
4. Check your HOME dir to make sure the .cvspass is there and that the update date is today.
5. Be thankful that you didn’t try CVSNT
