Re: Connecting using ssh and putty's pageant key manager

In response to myself:

It now works if I specify in the CVSROOT

:ssh;username=joebloggs;hostname=myhostname.domain.com:/usr/local/cvsroot

And wincvs authenticates using the ssh-agent (pageant)
No need for the batch anymore!

Still no clue what the CVSNT password agent is...
