For more, information I refer you to: http://www.cygnus.com/ml/gnu-win32/1997-Oct/0804.html After a few false starts, I was able to build a gnu-win32 version of rsh. Setting CVS_RSH to this version of rsh fixed the above problem. Unfortunately, cvs operations were approximately 4 times slower than the Cyclic native Win32 port of cvs. I believe that the poor performance can be traced to rsh's use of fork/exec. Dejectedly I gave up and went back to using the Cyclic version of cvs. If interested I can send you precompiled versions of: cvs.exe (1.9.18) rsh.exe (from inetutils 1.3.1) that are know to work (with a UNIX cvs server) but are slow.
