This may be a different situation but I thougth it worthwile to mention,
I have been trying to do cvs access with SSH as well, and the only thing
that worked
for me eventualy was port forwarding. I am running a cvs server at my
Linux PC at home, and am trying to access it from my work (HP-UX). So at
work I did not want to do batch login, because I did not want my
passwords lying around in some files. So I tried to set up hostbased
authentification that never worked because I guess I did not have ssh
installed in the super user mode, as was mentioned in the docs. Then I
found out about the portforwarding feauture of ssh and that worked at
last.
have a look at
http://www.acl.lanl.gov/aclcore/users/technotes/ssh_portforwarding.html#cvs
for details.
Basicaly what you is,
ssh -L2401:remotesite.domain.com:2401 remotesite.domain.com
ssh will give you a prompt so you can login to the remote site, but you
only have to do this once.
Once this is done, there is a channel from the remote cvs server port
2401, to your local host port 2401.
Now, in an other shell, on the client side (so not the ssh one, you can
pop the ssh shell down for the rest) you can just do cvs -d
:pserver:user@localhost:/path/to/repository
just as the server was sitting on the client side. Once you terminate
the ssh shell,
the chanel is gone again and the cvs server will not be accessible
anymore.
This weekend I'll try to enhance things with kerberos, but I think as I
am using ssh maybe this is not really necessary anymore. But maybe it
still is because of this .cvspass file,
you just never know :)
Anyway, port forwarding works great for me.
