I have seen several messages from people trying to get WinCVS and SSH working together. Many of them are problems using the password server (pserver) or just getting SSH to authenticate correctly. Maybe someone can help me with my version of WinCVS <-> SSH woes. I can connect from my NT 4.0 machine to a Unix system running Solaris 2.7 using ssh2. The authentication challenge is received and passed. Things run just fine. If I execute "cvs -d repository-directory status" directly via ssh2 the challenge is met, passed and cvs displays status information. So I can make connections via ssh2, find my repository, and run cvs on the remote Unix system. On the NT box when I use either the command line version of CVS or work through WinCVS, I set CVS_RSH to ssh2 and CVSROOT to :ext:my-login@machine:repository-directory The authentication challenge is received (with WinCVS it is in a popped up DOS window) and I can enter my secure phrase. At this point everything stops cold. If I login to the remote Unix system I see a 'cvs server' process running just fine. The local client is probably waiting for a response from the remote server. The two are just not talking to each other. I've turned on whatever verbose output I could find and that did not tell me much more. On the local NT side I'm using F-Secure SSH client v4.0 in Trial mode and WinCVS 1.1b13. On the remote Unix side I believe it is F-Secure's SSH code and CVS 1.10. Any assistance is greatly appreciate. I've banged my head against this one for awhile now. So close and yet so far! Thanks, Jim
