I'm not sure what's going on here, but I do see that, when you use ssh to
autologin, you specify the address without the "cvs." prefix. It would make
sense that if you're able to autologin with one address, CVS shouldn't prompt
for a password with the same address. Are you able to autologin using ssh to
cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net? Are you sure their side is configured
properly?

Subject: Re: CVS access using SSH
My variables are set as follows:
SET CVSROOT=cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net
SET CVS_RSH=ssh
An interesting thing occurs as follows: If I remove the "cvs." from the above,
then SSH autologs in, but CVS is pointing to the wrong location on Sourceforge's
servers and I'm not allowed to do anything. It seems that CVS is using the
value of CVSROOT to autolog in using SSH, but doing it incorrectly. I haven't
tried to look into the actual source code for CVS to see why, but I strongly
suspect that somehow its purposely doing this.
I've used CVS -t to view the commands and have confirmed that this is occuring.
I can attach the specifics if it would help.
Thanks for the assistance.

Hmmm. That's strange. How do you have your CVS environment variables defined
(ie env | grep CVS)? Do you have CVS_RSH set?

Subject: Re: CVS access using SSH
I have run SSH directly and gotten through to the CVS Server without entering a
password. I didn't enter a passphrase when creating the key and am fairly
confident that the keys were created and uploaded properly.
If I enter:
ssh -v projectname.sourceforge.net
I can go right in without a password or passphrase.
It's only when I try to use CVS that it seems to require a password. It seems
that CVS requires the CVSROOT to be defined one way, which works if you enter a
password, but doesn't work if you try to go without one.
Thanks for the assistance.

Are you able to setup ssh-agent and cvs-add your private key to it? This will
allow ssh not to require the passphrase each and every time you or CVS uses it.
I'm not sure how this works on 95, though.

Subject: CVS access using SSH
It seems that CVS is trying to send an inaccurate command when attempting to use
SSH and authorized keys. I am trying to configure my CVS so that it doesn't
require a password each and every time I run it. I have also used the -t trace
option to determine what CVS is trying to do. Here is what I found:
CVS tries to execute the following SSH command:
"ssh cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net -l username cvs server"
If I try to run this very same command at a DOS Prompt (I'm on a Win95 machine),
I get an error that this is a protected shell acount that I cannot access. If I
remove the "cvs." and the "cvs server" then all works well.
Is there a way to define the specific command sent? I know that my shared keys
are also set up correctly.
Thanks in advance for the help.
