Install CVSNT on your Linux machine.
It has been backported and works quite well on Linux, in fact as far as
I 
know the CVSNT sourcecode itself is version controlled on a CVSNT server

running on Linux... 


Best regards,

Thanks Bo and Tony for your quick answers!
Unfortunately I guess I am on the wrong mailing list. Actually I am not
running CVSNT but CVS in a Unix/Linux environment. On CVS there is no
precommand script, or is there?
Do you know by chance of a workaround on CVS?

Thanks a lot,
Simon
