Hi Carol, be sure to use freebsd-cvsweb@, not owner-freebsd-cvsweb@ as

Hmm.  Do you get the same rcsdiff headers (ie: a weird trailing comma in
the "RCS file:" line, /tmp/something instead of the real filename, and
no versions) if you run

  rcsdiff -u -r1.1 -r1.2 /opt/cvsroot/Hosting/Scripts/techtool_archive.pl,v

from the command line, as the user running the cvsweb.cgi script?  What
about the same without the ,v suffix?  I tried to reproduce on a Solaris
8 box but the output was always as I expected, ie. something like:

  % rcsdiff -u -r1.1 -r1.2 `pwd`/foo/foo/bar,v
  ===================================================================
  RCS file: /m/fs/user1/a/18/scop/foo/foo/bar,v
  retrieving revision 1.1
  retrieving revision 1.2
  diff -u -r1.1 -r1.2
  --- bar 2003/09/17 17:19:03     1.1
  +++ bar 2003/09/17 17:19:15     1.2

...or if I run it without the trailing ,v:

  % rcsdiff -u -r1.1 -r1.2 `pwd`/foo/foo/bar
  ===================================================================
  RCS file: /m/fs/user1/a/18/scop/foo/foo/bar,v
  retrieving revision 1.1
  retrieving revision 1.2
  diff -u -r1.1 -r1.2
  --- /m/fs/user1/a/18/scop/foo/foo/bar   2003/09/17 17:32:50     1.1
  +++ /m/fs/user1/a/18/scop/foo/foo/bar   2003/09/17 17:33:23     1.2
