No, the only way to access the server is via pserver authentication, and there are no plans to change this. Hi, I seem to remember Dan Convissor describing a way to tunnel through ssh to the CVS server a few years back, I would email him to ask for details to see if it might solve your issue. Greg
Thanks, Greg... your suggestion led me to this info http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/index.php?title=CVS_FAQ#How_do_I_access_a_CVS_repository_using_SSH.3F which worked for me. I edited that info a little based on what I had to do to get it working, but I'm good now. As info for anyone searching the archives for this kind of info, you have to use a middleman box outside your firewall to tunnel through your firewall to, and then the pserver traffic goes from the middleman to the pear box. I'm taking a performance hit compared to a direct me-to-pear path, but it beats having no path at all. Chuck
