The problem is that cvs tries looking for a program named "plink -P 2000" instead of looking for program "plink" with arguments "-P" and "2000". I think cvs is using exec without parsing the variable to split up the arguments. Perhaps that would be a problem if the path had a space in it. If I make CVS_RSH="plink" then it connects but doesn't work because the wrong port is being used. What do you suggest? Thanks. Blake McBride
