Well, it means that "The :ext: protocol does not support the login
command", IOW you don't need to use the login command with that protocol
(Login is basically only required with the :pserver: protocol and in
certain cases with the :sspi: protocol, a few other protocols support it
optionally).

With :ext: authentication will be handled by the external tunnel
application (typically an SSH client). How this will be done depends on
how you have configured that external client. SSH clients will by
default query you for a password for every single connection (in this
case: for every single command you send to the server). There's usually
also an option to authenticate using a private/public keypair. If your
private key is passphrase-protected you will be queried for that
passphrase for every single command (unless you use an SSH agent utility
to store the unencrypted key in memory which is the recommended way to
handle SSH connections). If it is not passphrase-protected you will not
have to enter anything and could simply run your commands. I strongly
recommend against passing the password as a commandline argument to the
SSH client, which would (hypothetically) be yet another alternative of
setting things up.

Hope this helps.

Code 1 means a failure. Code 0 means a success.

When you get a code 1, look at the line(s) above the code 1 to see what the
problem was. In your case, you have the preferences set up to try to use
the ":ext:" protocol, which (apparently) doesn't allow/require the login
command to be executed.

Thank you George,

I able to log in, and winCVS prompt the password but i get this error:

cvs -d :pserver:***@mycvsserver:/var/cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:***@mycvsserver/var/cvs
cvs [login aborted]: connect to mycvsserver failed: A connection attempt
failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a
period of time, or established connection failed because connected host
has failed to respond.

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

That's means, the CVS server doesn't respond?
I already ask the admin about that.

Thank you.
