---++ CVS in Windows

I like to use [[http://www.Tortoisecvs.org][TortoiseCVS.]]

---++ Setting up a public/private key pair so that you don't have to authenticate every time

   * In UNIX type =ssh-keygen -t dsa=. 
   * Copy the resulting .pub file to the =.ssh= directory in your UNIX home directory, and append it to the =authorized_keys= file in the same directory. (Create that file if you need to)
   * Copy the resulting file with no extension (your private key) to the computer you want to connect from
   * Install [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html][Putty]]
   * Use the =PuttyGen= program to convert the key to Putty format
   * Then run the =Pageant= program and add the key that you just created.
   * Now you will not be prompted for a password when doing a CVS update with Tortoise.
