Error in webwml/english/doc/cvs.wml

[Johan Haggi <jh@orsobruno.net>]

Hi all,
there is an error in webwml/english/doc/cvs.wml (1.13/Apr 18 09:51 2002)
line 159 (how to generate an encrypted password to use on the pserver):
 
<code>makepasswd --crypt --clear=<var>your_password</var></code>
 
I do an example from my system (potato r5) because I read well English
but don't write well it:
 
johan@debian:~$ makepasswd --crypt --clear=my_pwd
mkpasswd:  Could not read my_pwd, error: No such file or directory
mkpasswd:  For more information, type:  mkpasswd --help
johan@debian:~$ makepasswd --help
[...]
--clearfrom=FILE Use a clear password from FILE instead of generating passwords.
[...]

This maybe is better:
 
<code>echo <var>your_password</var> > pwd.tmp<br>
makepasswd --crypt --clearfrom=pwd.tmp<br>
rm pwd.tmp</code>
 
johan@debian:~$ echo my_pwd > pwd.tmp
johan@debian:~$ makepasswd --crypt --clearfrom=pwd.tmp
my_pwd     aWqAyY5M2nBGY
johan@debian:~$ rm pwd.tmp
