Run "ssh -t dsa", choose a good password.

You can try running this for passwords:
for ((n=0;n<10;n++)); do dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | 
uuencode -m -| head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | cut -c-8; done

Look in your ~/.ssh directory (I'm not sure where this is on Mac OS X, 
/home/jbusser/.ssh maybe?)  Or maybe in .ssh2 ??  Go to the account conf 
section of the savannah site and add you public ssh key.  Just open it 
and copy and paste the text.  I'm not sure how much having the key 
helps, unless you have write access, so ask someone to give you write 
access or something.

To do anonymous CVS checkout (which doesn't even need the key), do:

export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gnumed
cd <some directory where you want the gnumed cvs checkout to go>
cvs -z3 co gnumed OR cvs -z3 checkout gnumed (z3 is for compression)

To Karsten/Horst/whom it may concern: I just created my Savannah account 
today, and I applied to join the gnumed team.  Is it possible that I 
could get write access?
