Gosh, of course I do know how to connect to a cvs repo from the command line! Wake up, man! Mucho stupido! When I try "cvs login" (after having exported the proper CVSROOT setting) I get: cvs [login aborted]: the :pserver: access method is not installed on this system This is very puzzling, as I just compiled and installed the whole enchilada from scratch! Any clues? H.
