It supports 'cvs login' so you don't have to use an RSA key. If you want to, use keys anyway you use login but specify the key & passphrase instead: cvs -d :ssh;key='d:\my key':server:/repository login Password: <passphrase> You need to use openssh v2 (or v1) format keys which puttygen is able to export. Currently cvsnt doesn't support encrypted v1 keys (because then encryption is non-standard and I'm far from being a crypto expert!). >> New CVSROOT parser that supports keywords, so things are a lot more >> flexible now. > >Is there any documentation about what this actually means? What keywords? >How flexible? In what way? It means individual protocols can add valid keywords, plus you can be a bit more flexible with what you write, so: :pserver:foo at bar.com:2401:/repo :pserver;username=foo:bar.com:2401:/repo :pserver;username=foo;hostname=bar.com;port=2401:/repo .. are all the same thing. Whether that's actually useful is debateable, but it's no extra code, as I needed the keywords for things like ssh. Tony
