2014-07-16 03:38 AEST by Glen Starrett - The extnt protocol specifies that it can take parameters not included on the
command line from the ini file:

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>extnt -H
Usage: extnt.exe hostname [-l username] [-p protocol] [-d directory] [command..]

        -l username     Username to use (default current user).
        -p protocol     Protocol to use(default sspi).
        -d directory    Directory part of root string.
        -P password     Password to use.

Unspecified parameters are also read from [<hostname>] section in extnt.ini.


It does take username, protocol, and directory from the ini file however it does
not take password.  For example, if you have this specified:

[pluto-ss]
protocol=sserver
hostname=pluto
directory=/test
username=myuser
password=mypassword

This does NOT work:

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>set CVS_EXT=extnt %h

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>cvs -d :ext:pluto-ss:/test ls
[extnt] connect aborted: server pluto rejeced access to /test

Where this DOES work:

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>set CVS_EXT=extnt %h -l %u -P mypassword

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>cvs -d :ext:myuser@pluto-ss:/test ls
Listing modules on server

This also doesn't work, apparently if you specify a password on the extnt line
it also requires the username to be passed in from there as well:

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>set CVS_EXT=extnt %h -P mypassword

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>cvs -d :ext:myuser@pluto-ss:/test ls
[extnt] connect aborted: server pluto rejeced access to /test

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>cvs -d :ext:pluto-ss:/test ls
[extnt] connect aborted: server pluto rejeced access to /test

either:


cvs -d :ext:myuser:mypassword@pluto-ss:/test ls

cvs -d :ext;username=myuser;password=mypassword:pluto-ss:/test ls
