External Locator Configuration

This dialog box is displayed if you click External Locator Configuration when creating a CVS repository. Specify the information required to connect to the remote repository when the method by which the client will gain access to and authenticate against the server is External.

Set Remote Shell: If this option is checked, external repositories are accessed through a remote shell utility, usually rsh (the default) or ssh.

Set Remote Shell: If this option is checked, you specify the name of the CVS program on the remote server. (It is unlikely to need to be changed from the default, and should only be changed in cooperation with the administrator of the CVS remote server.)
