[cvsnt] Is usage of cvs.exe (as client) discouraged at thehostwhere the repository lives?

[Bo Berglund]

Just make sure the local use of cvs does NOT use :local: mode!!!
You should connect to the server in exactly the same way you do from
the other clients using whatever client/server protocol you have set up.

Since you are more used to unix/linux I assume you have Linux users and have
configured pserver. Then use pserver also on the CVS machine and you
are fine.

I just have the vague memory of reading about it being troublesome, but
cannot be sure of recalling it correctly. That's why I need clarification.
If you think that there should be no problem at all, then my memory is
probably tricking me.

The desired setup is as follows:
A CVS repository and, at the same box, a building setup (requiring cvs.exe
to checkout the appropiate sources).

I know that in a UNIX environment there would be no problem at all. But
since in this win32 world the magic is all around, I just wanted to be sure.
(er, this is not a flame starter, right?).
