This info manual describes how to use and administer CVS version 1.11.2. ... *Note Connecting via rsh:* ...

Is there some way to turn it on? I'm using Emacs on WinNT with Cygwin bash if that makes a difference. GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2002-03-19 on buffy Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client) Here's what I found in *Messages* Loading pcvs...

Yes, Cygwin mounts d:\tools\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin so /usr/bin = /bin a symbolic link in /bin/cvs points to d:\bin\cvs.exe so bash finds the link in /usr/bin/cvs and Emacs has this exec-path... ("d:/tools/cygwin/bin" ;find link first? ; ... paths "d:/bin" ;or find real program first? ; ... paths "d:/tools/emacs-21.2/bin") Also this is my WinNT path, if it matters...
