CVS/SSH server access

Brief info on access to the RDFWeb CVS server.

Using Jim as an example, here is how we set up CVS-over-SSH, using either password authentication or pubkey setup if you have that working (allowing ssh-agent to cache password and saving you some typing).

[foafnaut]$ export CVS_RSH='ssh'
[foafnaut]$ export CVSROOT=:ext:jibberjim@foafnaut.org:/var/lib/cvs
[foafnaut]$ cvs co foafnaut.org/

The same should work for xmlns.com, foafnaut.org, rdfweb.org CVS trees.

A slight variant for MacOS X users running the default 'tcsh' shell:

setenv CVS_RSH 'ssh'
setenv CVSROOT :ext:ephidrina@foafnaut.org:/var/lib/cvs
cvs co foafnaut.org/
