Thanks Benno, Stuart and Jiri for your responses. An alias doesn't work with cvs over ssh, at least not when I do: $ alias sshp="ssh -F $HOME/.ssh/config_with_proxy" $ export CVS_RSH=sshp" $ cvs up CVS_RSH doesn't like flags/parameters either. I haven't figured out a way to pass ssh flags to cvs (via CVS_RSH), except by creating a simple script /usr/local/bin/sshp which calls ssh with my favorite flags. I have used various ssh_config setups with and without domain specific blocks but never came to a config that worked everywhere (likely my fault). On top of that I use my OpenBSD laptop at work (proxy needed) and as well at home (no proxy needed for the exact same destination). So I will continue with custom scripts (or aliases for the non-cvs cases). No big deal. Regards, Holger ;-se
