RE: [Sandweb-users] cvs repository username problem

[Webb, J. <jas...@lm...>]

I am using pserver. The cvs username for this user to access the cvs
repository has to be passed as a domain followed by a "\" followed by
his username. We have to do it this way because of the way his user
account is set up.  Any suggestions?

This needs to be done within SandWeb (workaround would be for
the user to change their name :) ).

I just confirmed that backslashes in usernames work for SandWeb
users but not for CVS over SSH users.. this is what you are seeing
right?

I'll see if I can put out a patch for the 1.0 branch that addresses
this.. however we need to be very careful with funny characters since
this is part of a call to the shell.


Thanks,
Rob
