I use CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs at anoncvs.de.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs.
Is it possible to specify the password on the command line with cvs login (it
isn't secret anyhow)?
How exactly do i set up password-less authentication over SSH ? I wont be able
to create an SSH key and copy it over to the server??
