Re: cvs question

env | sort | grep CVS
returns nothing. There are no CVS* variables set! Strange. Where is
it getting the cvsroot from? Even if I remove the .cvspass file, it
still uses the pserver line from before. It's definitely getting
cached somewhere. greping the env for pserver shows nothing.

Incidently, I also removed root's ~root/.cvspass but it didn't change anything.

Still open for ideas.

Someone sets CVSROOT, if you can just type "cvs login" and get a prompt
for ``Logging in to :pserver:myname@myserver/home/foo/bar''.

Can you run, on both systems, the following?

$ env | sort | grep CVS
