Hi Kenneth, We're using pserver with Windows 2000 and CVSNT, connecting to multiple repositories using a little tool which sets the CVS environment variables for the command prompt. We go through an SSH tunnel, so the pserver insecurity is mitigated, although it is still possible if you don't log off for someone to find a passwd file on your computer.
This setup, however, has worked very well for us. Using Putty for tunneling is more reliable than PLink.exe, which breaks the connection if you press CTRL-C to interrupt a CVS operation. We don't use :ext: since that would require typing in my passphrase for every commit with my current ssh key setup. I would love to hear of a way to set this up, apparently there are some keyring programs, but they're more for linux. By the way, there is no need to use Cygwin to run CVS under Windows. I ran CVS built under NT for quite a while, and recently moved to CVSNT. You could get line conversion issues if you don't set Cygwin correctly, whereas CVSNT always checks out files with windows CR-LF endings. cheers, Matthew Herrmann -----Original Message----- Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 14:00:01 -0800 From: Kenneth Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: connection using pserver Message-ID: <2527436090.1042812001@[10.69.3.69]> In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precedence: list Message: 10 --On Friday, January 17, 2003 4:46 PM -0500 Larry Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you're at all concerned about security, you should > not be using pserver, you should be using :ext: with SSH. We started down this path but couldn't get it working on Windows with cygwin ssh. (Server is a Red Hat box, though.) Is there a cookbook somewhere that explains how to make that scenario work? For other tunneling (eg. X) I've been using the latest PuTTY, which seems to work pretty well. Has anyone set up a Windows CVS client using PuTTY? _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
