[Users] Fwd: cvs pserver timeout

[David Rideout]

[[My first attempt to send this bounced.]]

Hi Scott,

Have you tried ssh port forwarding?  i.e. tell your cvs client to use
the cvs server on your local machine, and then forward that port to
cvs.cactuscode.org via ssh.  I forget the command to do this at the
moment but you can probably sort it out.  Or someone else on the list
may explain.  A problem is that you will have to switch the port
forwarding for each different cvs server (repository?) you use.  But a
script might make this not too painful.

Cheers,
David
