Apparently, you can cvs commit now.  Time to close this one?

This is the patch which added MaxAuthTries.  The description
matches exactly what I described and corresponds to the
RTEMS project having to increase the MaxAuthTries to 12
to get around this with multiple RTEMS developers who
have keys associated with individual servers and projects.

I tried to create a new key and follow the instructions
again.  Given the delay in things, it might not be installed
yet.

savannah2.pub is attached.  Hopefully one of these is on
the server correctly.

(file #17609)

I updated it again and even added my gcc cfarm id as the #2 key and made my .ssh/config use that.  Same result.

I attached the .pub file so you can check it on your end.

However, in your case, authentication starts with the
correct key since you mentioned it in your .ssh/config
file, so that's hopefully not the issue.

Did you double-check the pubkey you submitted?

I tried again and it is the same result.  We had to
increase MaxAuthTries to 12 on RTEMS build servers
to support users who had multiple ssh keys.  ssh tries
all of your keys and if unlucky, you run out of attempts
before it hits it.

Can you try again now?
I see errors in the log files when you connected before the user was created on the system (there's a delay between the first time you're added to a project and the creation of the SSH account).

$ CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:ext:joelsherrill@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/simulavr co -d simulavrxx-write simulavrxx
Received disconnect from 199.232.41.69: 2: Too many authentication failures for joelsherrill
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

And changed the host name in my .ssh/config.  This is now
the host stanza:

Host cvs.savannah.nongnu.org
ForwardX11 no
IdentityFile  ~/.ssh/savannah

ssh-agent is not running.

You're trying to get CVS over SSH access, aren't you?

savannah.nongnu.org isn't the correct hostname for that.

Try using cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/simulavr as the
CVSROOT (and use that hostname in your .ssh/config as well).

That way, accessing the simulavr repository works for me.

Hi,

I have been added as a submitted to simulavrxx and think
I have done everything with the key correctly.  I am
pretty sure this is an issue because I have keys
to gcc.gnu.org, the GCC CFARM and a couple of local domain
ones.  I have seen this locally.

My .ssh/config and ssh -v are attached.

I normally run ssh-agent but killed it and that
didn't help.  I deleted all host entries in my .ssh/config
except savannah and that didn't help/

I assume you guys have more experience with this
problem than I do.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.
