| <title>CVSPass Task</title> |
| </head> |
| |
| <body> |
| |
| <h2 id="cvs">cvspass</h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p>Adds entries to a <samp>.cvspass</samp> file. Adding entries to this file has the same affect as |
| a <kbd>cvs login</kbd> command.</p> |
| |
| <p><strong>CVSNT Note</strong>: CVSNT prefers users to store the passwords inside the registry. If |
| the task doesn't seem to work for you, the most likely reason is that CVSNT ignores |
| your <samp>.cvspass</samp> file |
| completely. See <a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21657#c5" |
| target="_top">bugzilla report 21657</a> for recommended workarounds.</p> |
