Hi, .cvspass file stores the login, cvs directory and passwords you use to log on to cvs servers (pserver). For instance, if you connect to 4 cvs servers, your .cvspass file will have 4 entries, one for each server. So that the next time you could just do cvs login without specifying the password.
Of course the passwords are encoded. --Siddhartha On 9/4/07, Saifi Khan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi: > > Everytime, I access the CVS server on the net, > the following line appears - > > cvs checkout: warning: failed to open /home/saifi/.cvspass for reading: No > such file or directory > > So, I just went and 'touch'd ~/.cvspass and the error went away. > > My query is - what is the purpose of .cvspass file ? > and what information does it contain for cvs command line ? > > Thanks in advance. > > thanks > Saifi.
