UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hey guys,

I am trying to setup CVS to run with an SSH connection, but am hitting a brick wall. I seem to be getting CVS to login correctly, but when I attempt to check out a module I am getting the following error:

ksh: cvs: not found

This is kinda implying to me that its not loading the .profile when it logs in, therefore is not setting the required path. Have you come across this issue before? I vaguely remember reading something about this when I was reading documentation on setting this up, i.e. it does not load these environment variables.

Any suggestions on how to get round this? OR is this not the problem!

thanks

Did you set up your environment? For setting up my CVS server I use the following in my .tcshrc

setenv CVSROOT :ext:locustfurnace@10.0.10.10:/usr/home/locustfurnace/CVSROOT
setenv CVS_RSH /usr/bin/ssh
setenv CVSEDITOR vim

I have my variables currently set to:

CVSROOT=/appl/cvs/CVSROOT/
CVS_RSH=/bin/ssh

Thanks
