I'm not going to waste any seconds of my time for someone who is only
willing to write a message full of insults. 
We're volunteers and not here for the purpose of being insulted.

As Savannah USER you DO NOT have a shell account. No USER have such an
account. The reason is simple, you DO NOT NEED such an account.
If you really think you NEED such an account, deal with address@hidden

And if you unable to use some savannah service you be able to, as CVS,
please give details instead of insult!!!!

For instance "when I try to log in, I get errors, when it did once
work" does not help. "When I use the login on the oh-so-clever web
page, it says the unhelpful "phpkrb5 module failure"" neither.


No regards.
