On the new server all committors have been given a shell-account. This means
that they can use ssh to use CVS. 

Something like this:

export CVSROOT=:ext:cvs.mmbase.org:/var/cvs
export CVS_RSH=ssh

cvs co all

(or change your CVS/Root files with a script accordingly)

If you don't know your password, you can ask Rico.

You probably want to install your public key then, because using your
password with CVS is quite uncomfortable.

There exists tools to do that: http://www.stearns.org/ssh-keyinstall/

But I ussually do it manually:

On your own computer you need a private/public key pair. Which you generate
with something like:

ssh-keygen -t dsa

The private and public key are stored in ~/.ssh/

The resulting id_dsa.pub file you copy to cvs.mmbase.org.


Where you append it to a file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
(cat id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2).


It is important that the .ssh dir and its keys (locally and and remotely)
are only readable by yourself. Ussually, if it does not work, failing that
criterium is the cause.


If everything is up-and-running then we could delete your pserver entry.
Which you can even do yourself (in CVSROOT).
