I neglected to mention that it has also been reported that some, through heroic effort, have managed to get pserver working. Details of their arduousness were not reported, however.
Searching for "CVS," "pserver," "external" and / or "SSH" will help you zero in on the pertinent messages to the Cygwin mailing list.
It's possible that ongoing improvements in Cygwin have made pserver work (with less effort). Since I know nothing of the problems that impaired pserver function, I can only offer this as a guess.

And although I haven't had the time to test it extensively cvs login,checkout,commit etc. seems to be working reasonably well. I don't think I'm doing anything out of the ordinary so i wonder why it's working for me ;-) Elfyn [EMAIL PROTECTED]
