CVS Command

The login Command

The login command confirms a password for a particular repository. This is used in a client-server environment. The password information is stored in your local .cvpass file. As a result, authentication is required only once per session. If the password is changed on the server, you need to logon again. For example, you can use the following code:

$ cvs – d :pserver:user:repositorypath login password

Note If you do not give the password, CVS automatically prompts for the password at the command line.
