<title>CVSPass Task</title>
</head>

<body>

<h2><a name="cvs">cvspass</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Adds entries to a .cvspass file. Adding entries to this file has the same affect as a cvs login command.</p>

<p><b>CVSNT Note</b>: CVSNT prefers users to store the passwords
inside the registry.  If the task doesn't seem to work for you, the
most likely reason is that CVSNT ignores your .cvspass file
completely.  See <a
href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21657#c5">bug
zilla report 21657</a> for recommended workarounds.</p>
