Existing account holders can [change their password|https://ldaps.ecoinformatics.org] or [reset their password|https://ldaps.ecoinformatics.org] if they forgot it using a web-based interface:

- More efficient access can be had by using a CVS client application. However, for this to work you must first obtain a CVS account and install and configure the client software. Once this is accomplished it is very easy to stay synchronized with all development activities within SEEK.

- ! CVS configuration details
+ !! Obtaining a CVS account
+ You need a CVS account in order to access the files in any of the CVS repositories. You can get one for read-only access by simply sending an email request to pmc@ecoinformatics.org. Include in your request the following information:
+ *Full name
+ *Email address
+ *Institution
+ *Which projects are you interested in
+
+
+ !! Choosing a CVS client application
+ CVS client applications are available for Linux, Windows, MacOS, and other systems. Here is a list of commonly used CVS clients and Integrated Development Environments that support CVS.
+ *Windows: [TortoiseCVS|http://www.tortoisecvs.org], [Eclipse|http://eclipse.org], [WinCVS|http://wincvs.org], cvs command line using [Cygwin|http://www.cygwin.com]
+ *Linux: cvs command line, [Eclipse|http://eclipse.org]
+ *MacOS: cvs command line
+
+ Many others are available, and it is a matter of personal preference which you choose. Many SEEK project members that are used to the Windows environment prefer [TortoiseCVS|http://www.tortoisecvs.org] because it is so well integrated with the Windows file system. Linux/Unix users generally prefer the command line.
+
+ !! CVS configuration details
+ Once you have a client program installed, you'll need to configure it to connect. We only permit connections that communicate over the SSH protocol version 2, so you'll need to have a recent SSH client installed and configured. Under linux, this is usually provided in the 'openssh' package, which also can be obtained under Windows using Cygwin.
+
+ For most clients, you will need the following configuration information:
+ *CVSROOT=:ext:username@cvs.ecoinformatics.org:/cvs
+ *CVS_RSH=ssh
+ *module=seek (or kepler or others depending on interest)
At line 21 added 1 line.
