Nope, this is wrong. /cvs is not the location with the ssh key, it just says that this is the cvs-server's main-directory, this has nothing to do with local directories.

That would only be necessary if you want to use different user-accounts on the same server, so it is not necessary for OOo. you just terminate the tunnel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
