In this particular case (specificly, a read-only anonymous CVS repository), you can't use SSH. If you were using your own CVS repository, or if you became a FreeBSD developer with commit privileges, you would run ssh-keygen and create a RSA or DSA keypair using an empty passphrase. You'd place the public key (~/.ssh/identity.pub, ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, etc) in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, or mail your key to the admin or CVS repo meister of cvs.freebsd.org, depending on the circumstances -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for any insight Heinrich -STABLE = 4.x -CURRENT = 5.x -RELEASE = Snapshot of STABLE/CURRENT RELENG_4 is the development branch of -STABLE it can be broken from time to time (rarely, but still).. so you wouldn't want to use that for production use. For production.. it's best to use a -RELEASE from the -STABLE branch. You'd want RELENG_4_8 - which is 4.8-RELEASE + bug/security fixes.
