I take it you meant "tcsh -c /bin/true" (lowercase "c"). Your test above only tests tcsh in non-login mode. Try 'tcsh -l' or '(exec -l tcsh)' from bash instead. > The symptoms of failure that I obsererve fall into two categories: > > 1. cvs client reports 'unrecognized command' along with a piece of one > of the files uploaded displayed as the offending command, or > > 2. cvs trace stops dead, with both client and server processes in an O > state by ps.

If you rule that out, we can look for other causes. FWIW, simply "ssh user@host cvs server" should show you all of the output your cvs client sees (and complains about)...
