[Python-Dev] OK, so how do I make CVS actually *work*?

[Eric S. Raymond]

I have a valid ssh account on SourceForge.  I follow the directions on the 
Python CVS page and get this:

Script started on Mon Jul  3 09:50:42 2000
snark:~/WWW/python$ echo $CVS_RSH
/usr/bin/ssh
snark:~/WWW/python$ cvs -z3 -desr@cvs.python.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python co  python
