The process and settings are not compatible with using your Fedora account. Also, you should not be running as root. This is a BAD practice. It puts your system at unnecessary risk, and sharing the root account, even with family, is even worse. Set up a regular user account and use it instead. When you need to perform a system-wide function, use 'su' or 'sudo'. You may need to move or recreate your SSH and GPG keys in that new account. Some Fedora services, including the #fedora IRC channel, already ban users who are running as root, and other services may add that security measure in the future. > [root@localhost adam_laura]# export > CVSROOT=:pserver:manix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/docs This is where your problem is. You need to use :ext:, not :pserver:. The pserver method will only work for anonymous access. The ext method must be used with your Fedora account. Make sure that you correct your CVSROOT and specify SSH as the transport: export CVS_RSH=ssh export CVSROOT=:ext:manix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/docs Your account is otherwise set up properly, so you should then be able to start checking out modules. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://www.n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
