I'm really starting to think this is happening on the SourceForge side. Sorry I
can't help you any more than this.

If I edit the CVSROOT (actually by changing the ROOT file found in the CVS
subdirectory), here is the result:
C:\src>cvs -t co -c
CVS.EXE checkout: notice: main loop with
CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/panjasource
> Starting server: ssh panjasource.sourceforge.net -l sheldon_samuels cvs server
Cannot access /cvsroot/panjasource/CVSROOT
No such file or directory
You can see that now SSH works without asking for a password, but I get an
errorthat no file or directory is found. And this specific project does have
files and has been imported, checked out, updated, etc. through CVS by entering
a password everytime. So I can either have CVS work properly or have SSH work,
but not both.
For completeness, here is the same action, with cvs. in the root path.
C:\src>cvs -t co -c
CVS.EXE checkout: notice: main loop with
CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/panjasource
-> Starting server: ssh cvs.panjasource.sourceforge.net -l sheldon_samuels cvs
server
Password:
Now the cvs command works, but I was required to enter a password. The only
difference being the fact that "cvs." is entered in the CVSROOT path.
Does this help explain the problem?
Thanks.
