RE: wincvs and its built in ssh not working consistently

Craig,

WinCVS uses CVSNT for it's communications by default (unless you've
explicitly changed it).

The correct forum for CVSNT questions is here:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

Regards,


Arthur Barrett

Subject: wincvs and its built in ssh not working consistently


When I try to use the built in ssh in the 1.3.20.2 Beta release of
wincvs instead of using an "ext" ssh it works on some machines and not
on others set up with the exact same version.  I get the following
message when I try to check out a module:


cvs -d :ssh;username=jose;hostname=cvs.xxx.net;port=22:/var/cvsroot/ee
checkout -P Zepto (in directory C:\cvs\test2)
cvs checkout: Couldn't connect to remote server - plink error Unable to
open connection: Host does not existcvs [checkout aborted]: Connection
to server failed

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

It appears to be trying to use plink even though I specified it to use
ssh.  I can definitely ssh to port 22 of cvs.xxx.net from the machine.
The strange thing is that it worked the first time, then stopped
working every time after that.


Any ideas?

thanks,
Craig
