I'll assume you meant that you are running a windows-based client. In any case, the client stores the passwords, not the server. Based on your description above, it sounds like you are doing operations on the client-side. Regardless of client platform, there should be a $HOME/.cvspass file that is used as described above. -Matt _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
