cvs access

Try it again, maybe it was a temporary glitch. I just tried the command you used and it works fine on my Linux system. Thats without setting CVS_RSH (I don't have a CVS server on this Linux machine).

I have tried several times already, but no go, I read a post somehwere in the web ( sorry can't remember the url ), he was able to get the source code from his office, but not from his home computer. And he couldn't explain why his home pc could not get the source code. Anyway I've given up and settled for the most recent nightly build source instead.

[EDIT] Just a thought - cvs will create a "boinc" directory in the current directory, you don't already have a file with the same name, right? And you do have write permission to the directory, right?

Yes, it will also update outdated files in the cvs root directory ( depends on where you have assigned it to ), as for the "boinc" directory, not sure, it depends on how the cvs root in ther server for boinc was configured. As for write permission, AFAIK, this dependes on the user the executed the cvs. e.g. if you logged in as root and ran cvs, cvs will have root permission.

First time I downloaded the source it conflicted with the boinc program already there. So I created a "source" directory and make it the current directory before running cvs.

That's the right way to do it the first time, create an empty directory and point your cvs root there, then build. Check the cvs manual on how to update your source code from the repository, I think running the same command will do the trick.

cheers.
