Hi, Thanks this now works! :)

Perhaps this command could be added to the FAQ?

https://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?group_id=5802&question=How_do_I_start_using_the_CVS_repository.txt

This did not have this info, or the "ext" part of the command, or webcvs example etc..


GNU Make (https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=make) has this extra
infomation on its Savannah page, perhaps it can be turned on?

Thanks again for the help.

Cheers, now3d

It looks like you are using the wrong repository.

Try using this:
cvs -z3 -d:ext:now3d@savannah.gnu.org:/webcvs/fsfe co fsfe

ok, so now i get an error:

$ export CVS_RSH=ssh

$ cvs -z3 -dnow3d@subversions.gnu.org/cvsroot/fsfe co fsfe
Enter passphrase for key '/home/now3d/.ssh/id_dsa':
Invalid CVSROOT (1)
cvs checkout: invalid data from cvs server
$

any ideas?

Cheers

Ok, sorry, I assumed it was just my system config putting the dsa key in a different location:  /etc/sshd/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub

Perhaps this could be clarified on the page? (that daemon keys are not suitable)

Also, how much of the ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file is needed?  the page does not make it clear.  does it need the beginning "ssh-dsa" then the hex is compulsary, is the "user@host" required at the end?  Could these points be clarified on the page please?

Regards

You setup your key wrong.  For instructions on generating ssh-keys, please visit: https://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?group_id=5802&question=How_do_I_configure_my_SSH_access.txt

After the key has been generated, copy its contents from your local user directory, generally ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, and copy all it's contents onto Savannah.

[I can't set severity because the pulldown menu is broken in Mozilla 1.4 GNU/Linux]

I am trying to get code:
cvs -z3 -dnow3d@subversions.gnu.org/cvsroot/fsfe co fsfe

I added my SSH DSA key, (just the hex) but I cannot log in.  Can you tell me if just the hex of the DSA key is required?
I copied the hex from /etc/sshd/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub

Thanks for your help to a solution, please cc me in replies! :)
