No, because it doesn't work and never has as far as I know. What version of the manual are you looking at -- there's nothing like that in the current manual (for either the stable or new feature versions). CVS gets the username from the uid, nowhere else. (Unless the uid is 0, in which case it tries to find the real username by calling getlogin(). Only if that fails does it resort to checking $LOGNAME and $USER.) -Larry Jones When I want an editorial, I'll ASK for it! -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
