Well, you've gone way past my expertise. Sorry if I mislead you. I've copied this to
the group in hopes that someone can help you. I'm using WinCVS with SSH and have only
done the client side (i.e. Windows) of this setup. And I am also very new to all of
this.

I just try to install WinCVS, I prefer to SSH connection. But I don't know
how to configure the connection between my PC and my existing CVS Unix
server. Because the document seems just tell me the Unix-Unix connection.
The following shows u the document.
============================================================================
=============================================
Connecting with rsh
*******************
CVS uses the `rsh' protocol to perform these operations, so the remote user
host needs to have a `.rhosts' file which grants access to the local user.
For example, suppose you are the user `mozart' on the local machine
`toe.example.com', and the server machine is `faun.example.org'. On faun,
put the following line into the file `.rhosts' in `bach''s home directory:
toe.example.com mozart
Then test that rsh is working with
rsh -l bach faun.example.org 'echo $PATH'
Next you have to make sure that rsh will be able to find the server. Make
sure that the path which rsh printed in the above example includes the
directory containing a program named cvs which is the server. You need to
set the path in `.bashrc', `.cshrc', etc., not `.login' or `.profile'.
Alternately, you can set the environment variable CVS_SERVER on the client
machine to the filename of the server you want to use, for example
`/usr/local/bin/cvs-1.6'.
There is no need to edit `inetd.conf' or start a CVS server daemon.
There are two access methods that you use in CVSROOT for rsh. :server:
specifies an internal rsh client, which is supported only by some CVS ports.
:ext: specifies an external rsh program. By default this is rsh but you may
set the CVS_RSH environment variable to invoke another program which can
access the remote server (for example, remsh on HP-UX 9 because rsh is
something different). It must be a program which can transmit data to and
from the server without modifying it; for example the Windows NT rsh is not
suitable since it by default translates between CRLF and LF. The OS/2 CVS
port has a hack to pass `-b' to rsh to get around this, but since this could
potentially cause problems for programs other than the standard rsh, it may
change in the future. If you set CVS_RSH to SSH or some other rsh
replacement, the instructions in the rest of this section concerning
`.rhosts' and so on are likely to be inapplicable; consult the documentation
for your rsh replacement.
Continuing our example, supposing you want to access the module `foo' in the
repository `/usr/local/cvsroot/', on machine `faun.example.org', you are
ready to go:
cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout foo
(The `bach@' can be omitted if the username is the same on both the local
and remote hosts.)

Could u tell me what's my problem ? How to solve it ?

Patrick

Are you using SSH or PSERVER? If you are using SSH, how are you configured?
I cannot get SSH to autoconnect (at least not to Sourceforge's servers)
without errors. SSH works from a command line properly so I know my keys
have been created and uploaded, but it won't work with CVS or WinCVS.

??? Where did you get that from? I am using WinCVS for over a year now, and
always only had to login at the beginning of a session.
