Greetings,
I have followed the instructions (faqs) at WinCVS.org to the
letter, and tried both of the recommended methods of connecting
to the cvs repository at sourceforge.net. I have also read the
SSH faq for sourceforge.net, which, incidentally, is a ?nix
repository.
I have not been able to read the cvs repository except as
anonymous (pserver authentication). I have not been able to
update (ssh authentication required) the repository using
WinCVS.
I am using WinCVS version 1.1b11 on an NT4 platform. VPN is
not enabled. ssh client is downloaded (ssh -v yields: v1.2.14,
winnt-4.0-x86) and installed. HOME is set to ssh directory
(d:\ssh) and d:\ssh\.ssh is there. ssh-keygen has been run,
identity file created (d:\ssh\.ssh\identity) as well as
identity.pub and authorized_keys.
CVSROOT is set in WinCVS Admin|Preferences|General. Admin at
repository assures me that I am authorized write access.
Authentication is set to SSH.
WinCVS login attempts yields:
> Set the password authentication first in the preferences !
Attempts to commit to repository fail, yielding the following:
> cvs [commit aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout'
> first
Attempts to checkout yield the following:
> cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above
> messages if any)
There are no messages.
Attempts to "add" to remote repository yields the following:
> cvs [server aborted]: "add" requires write access to the
> repository
"cvs logout" yields proper user id at repository.
"cvs login" yields proper user id at repository and asks for
password. After entering the password and attempting to add a
file to the repository, this is the message I receive:
> cvs [server aborted]: "add" requires write access to the
> repository
Subsequent attempts to invoke "cvs checkout <module name>"
yields:
> cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above
> messages if any)
There are no messages.
I'm needing some help on this folks, anything you can offer in
the form of constructive suggestions or direction would be
appreciated.
Thank you.
Peace,
Paul G.
