Hi Arek,

This problem keeps popping up on the ensembl-dev and mart-dev lists.

In my place, CVS works fine on one server but always gives the "pam" error on another, and there is no obvious explanation. CVS does work with other repositories (e.g. cvs.gnu.org).

Have the Sanger admins tried this?

I don't know :-) but I will forward your suggestion there

Cheers

Hi

I am trying to connect to CVS and download the biomart modules and I get the following error. Is this problem at my end or your end?
I was also wondering if there was a debian package for biomart.

Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank
I just checked the cvs checkout and appears to be working correctly.
I note that you are trying to connect to an old cvs server. Try to follow
the instructions from http://www.biomart.org/biomart_website1.html#bio
