Yeah, but there are problems with that approach.  I routinely do mass
cvs commands in loops, like showing all differences between my files
and the repo files, and if there are a lot of them, I don't want to
have to input my password 100+ times....

It works, BTW, but it's not a great solution.

Thanks.
