Checkout using cvs command line in an AIX box -

i struggling checkout via commandline aix box.

we have been typically doing checkouts , having builds via hudson on wintel box (and cvs server hosted on aix box).

i struggling basics.

i set cvsroot on commandline

export cvsroot=:ext:cvs@localhost:/cvsrepos

and trying simple commands: cvs co -c

and receiving strange error:

**

host: name -l not found

** cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file server (consult above messages if any)

appreciate assistance

thanks manglu

the problem default ext used rsh under hood.

i switched on ssh setting variable (cvs_rsh=ssh)

which defaulting rsh earlier.

the set ssh keys done , things work well.
