my CVS blues :(

Hi! I have tried to set up several visual CVS clients to my new RedHat9, but I was unable to make at least one provide the basic functions. In case anyone has suggestions on this, please do not hesitate to inform me :) LinCVS: - Everything seems to work, except that it always tries to do actions

    (diff, commit, etc) through goba@cvs.php.net:2401/repository despite
    that I have not included the port number in the checkout. It always
    tries to log me in, and then says:

    trying to login: goba@cvs.php.net:2401/repository
    cvs server:

    login succeeded:
    cvs server: I LOVE YOU
    Added: :pserver:goba@cvs.php.net:2401/repository to
           registered loggins

    Then a window pops up, that the login failed. I have logged in to
    this repository (with the port number) from the command line, so it
    should be in my .cvspass. Still no action seems to work

Meld:

    This says that every file in any checked out repository is
    "modified", which makes any work with it painful.

Cervisia:

    This does not start at all, and provides no error message...

BTW I am struggling with an otherwise good RedHat 9 setup, installed yesterday, so probably not too crapy yet :) Still I would like to have a visual CVS client, I was so used to cervisia, I used it for months. I have never thought I will have such troubles on RedHat9 with this stuff... Goba
