Bug 14066

Summary: use of ssh2 as CVS_RSH breaks commiting
Product: Base System Reporter: Mikhail Teterin <mi>
Component: binAssignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 3.3-STABLE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Mikhail Teterin 1999-09-30 21:20:01 UTC
	When committing to a remote location, ssh2 is invoked. It properly
	prompts for password, etc. But when cvs invokes vi after that, vi quits
	immediately with: ``Error: input: Resource temporarily unavailable''

	Other non-X editors break in a similar fasion.

Fix: 

. Use RSH, which is insecure and requires use of .rhost, which is even worse,
		with CVS_RSH environment variable, or
	. Use some X-editor, such as gvim or xedit, with EDITOR environment variable:
		env EDITOR=xedit cvs commit
How-To-Repeat: 
	See Environment and Description.
