[Clug-tech] CVS gurus?

[Simon Wood]

command line answer is 'netcat'. You could pipe two netcats back to back on the windows machine so that the NAS connects to the CVS 'server' on the windows machine, when in fact the commands are going out to the VPN. Or you could use ssh portforwarding too.

A more elegant is to share the local CVS as Samba (or the like) and run CVS app/commands on the windows machine. CVS is purely file system, I suspose there might be username/acces permission issues.
