I don't know why the problem exists to create .cvspass. In any case, I created a .cvspass elsewhere and then moved into the /home/buildmaster directory and Continuum is able to continue.
Thanks again for your help. PS. Incidentally on the linux box, the .cvspass is stored in a directory .cvs (i.e. /home/buildmaster/.cvs/cvspass). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/scm-connection-string-tf1855935.html#a5088739 Sent from the Continuum - Users forum at Nabble.com.
