Thanks for the response. Even if you don't want to allow ssh access into your machines, it seems like a private/public key pair is what you would want for authentication. There should be a way to use the ssh authentication without running a full openssh stack.
Anyway, the caching does help. I'll give it a try for a little while. The random password that you lookup on the website just doesn't seem like the most elegant solution. thanks, Paul On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 8:26 PM, Ben Collins-Sussman <[email protected]> wrote: > Right, as Ali said, you should be having your svn (or mercurial) client > cache your password; that's the norm, just like you have an agent to cache > your ssh password. > Unlike Sourceforge, Google's infrastructure isn't just a "bunch of machines > you can ssh into" -- we have a very proprietary hardware/software stack. > The chance of allowing users' to install ssh keys is zero.
