cvs co problem with Fedora Core 4

When I was trying checkout a module using cvs on Fedora Core 4, using the ext method.

cvs -d:ext:user_name@hostname:/repository co module

It was taking a long time and tried with

Trying krb4 rsh...

And connection was timing out.
This was strange, Fedora was trying with login with RSH instead of SSH. I remember it used work without doing any modifications, later remembered it was RHEL3 and not FC4.
With FC4, you will have to set the CVS_RSH=ssh explicity
In the .bash_profile

CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVS_RSH

Now it should work. Thanks to this post.

Have a look at site, find the mention of binary compatiblity of the drivers and applications of Windows operating systems.Got to remember that React OS is not Production Stable yet, but still it is very nice work.

pydoc humor

Attributes may be read-only or writable. In the latter case, assignment to attributes is possible. Module attributes are writable: you can write "modname.the_answer = 42". Writable attributes may also be deleted with the del statement. For example, "del modname.the_answer" will remove the attribute the_answer from the object named by modname.
