I'm trying to connect to a CVS server using the "ext" method, and the default "rsh" command of Windows XP. The way we have the server set up, there is an account name but no password. When using the standard Windows rsh.exe I get the error "Unknown response received from cvs server: ok". If I run the cygwin rsh.exe it work ok, so it must be some kine of carriage return/line feed problem. The cvs server is running Unix (freebsd I think). So although we have a workaround, this is an extra setup step for our users that it would be nice to avoid. This looks similar to bug 21180, except that I'm using ext and rsh and no password.
Although differnt tools are being used, it loks like the root of the problem is the same (i.e. the external communicatons tool being used is adding a CR or LF. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 21180 ***
