No, that's not it. I changed the host name to the session name, markhost, which has the IP of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, so my user name becomes [EMAIL PROTECTED] and CVSROOT becomes [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot
I still get the same error message cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: ' from cvs server repeatedly. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 7:31 PM To: Alex Chen; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: WinCVS with Putty On Mon, 3 Nov 2003, Alex Chen wrote: > Hi, > I am using WinCVS 1.3 along with PuTTY for authentication. > I have set up the public/private key pairs with PuTTYgen and > Pageant. > I can login to the system without providing password: > > ========CVS login message from PuTTY====== > login as: achen > Sent username "achen" > Authenticated using RSA key "CVS" from agent > [EMAIL PROTECTED] achen]$ > ========================================== > > But when I tried to use WinCVS to checkout files, I got the following > errors: > > ===================WinCVS output ======================================= > Python 2.2.3 (#42, May 30 2003, 18:12:08) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 > CVSROOT: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot (ssh authentication) > TCL is available, shell is enabled : help (select and press enter) > cvs checkout -c (in directory C:\Project\) > cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s > password: > ' from cvs server > cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s > password: > ' from cvs server > cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s > password: > ' from cvs server > ***** CVS stopped on user request !!! ***** > ======================================================================== > > The setting in WinCVS is as follows: > > >From 'Admin->Preference', > In the 'General' pane: > Authentication = ssh, Setting = C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe, SSH > client box is checked. > Path = /usr/local/cvsroot > Host address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > User name = achen > CVSROOT = [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot I think I know what you did wrong. You used the name/IP address of the CVS server for the host name in WinCVS. However, this is not correct when using PuTTY. You must supply the name of the PuTTY saved session for contacting that host. It sounds like you already have one of those configured. Go into the PuTTY configuration screen, and look at the list of saved sessions, and pick the one you have set up for talking to your CVS server. In my case, our CVS server is hosted on a machine named 'cvs.domain' However, my WinCVS CVSROOT configuration is setup to use the name of the PuTTY saved session, which is 'cvs_ssh': [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot This is extremely counter intuitive, and I always mess this up. Good luck, and I hope this solves your problem.
