So it "very remote" >access I am seeking. > >-Chris OK, I can only tell you how my home CVS server is accessed remotely then: 1. I have opened port 2401 in the ADSL firewall to point to the CVS server PC on the inside LAN 2. I use sspi protocol 3. On the remote computer (dialup link to the Internet) I have set the root as :sspi:myuser at firewallIP:/myrepo 4. The first time I accessed this repository from the remote location I did a cvs login and gave the password for myuser on the cvs server PC. 5. After this it works without a hitch. No further cvs login needed. Notice above that the IP of the firewall must be entered as the cvs server because the firewall forwards port 2401 to the real server but from the outside it looks like the firewall is the server. I use a Dlink ADSL modem/firewall as the firewall so there is no PC up front at all. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
