Seems like quite a lot of huffing and puffing. Although, I'm certainly not an expert on cvs. wouldn't this have done the job? First this assumes sudo is installed and your user is allowed to sudo all. ======================================== CVSROOT=/usr/local/cvsrep;export CVSROOT sudo cvs co bon/il cd bon/il sudo vi il.txt edit save sudo cvs ci -m "Update change" I don't think you'd really need the second and third sudos in there. If I recall there is some kind of time limit involved. ======================================== Sudo is worth setting up for other reasons anyway. The easy way to set it up is to edit the /etc/sudoers file like this: [...] # Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL [...] Then put your user in group wheel as an additional group. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
