Hi, TortoiseCVS used to be able to pipe the password to "cvs login" via stdin redirection, but that has recently stopped working. I had to change the code to send simlated keystrokes to CVS's console window, but that sometimes seems to cause problems. I'd prefer to have an easy way to pass the password to the CVS client. Why is it no longer possible to do it via stdin redirection? Is there another interface to tell CVS a user's password that I'm not aware of? Or would it be possible to implement such an interface? Specifying it as a command line parameter would probably a bad choice due to security reasons. Anyone has a better idea? Maybe a temporary file that CVS could read the password from? Regards Hartmut
