For cvs (and continnum and maven) a user home is required because cvs store authentication in ${user.home}/.cvspass maven required it too to store the local repository and settings.xml

Hi all, I have problem with Continuum 1.1 beta2, which I'm running on Linux box under Tomcat 5.5. Continuum is not able to perform CVS update command, when I use command from log file and run it as any other user it works fine for me. Tomcat is running under user tomcat, which has no home directory (/dev/null). Has anybody met (and happily solved :)) this issue? Thanks Tonda
