[Savannah-hackers] CVS server on subversions.gnu.org closes connection

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

I haven't used write access to the CVS repository on subversions.gnu.org 
since the last security compromise.  Now I can login to fencepost.gnu.org 
only using ssh public key.  However, I still can use the old password to 
log in on the savannah.gnu.org website.

Recently I tried to commit changes for the OpenAP project (I'm 
authorized to commit).  I could not do it because the cvs server closes 
the connection:

$ cvs -z3 -t -n -f -d :ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/openap co -s
 -> main loop with CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/openap
 -> Starting server: ssh subversions.gnu.org -l proski cvs server 
Connection to subversions.gnu.org closed by remote host.
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
 -> Lock_Cleanup()
$

If I change the ssh1 public key, I'm getting a password prompt, so ssh
knows when I'm using the right identity file.  So the problem is not in
the key.

I tried running ssh on fencepost.gnu.org and got the same error.  Running 
any commands other than "cvs server" results exactly in the same error 
(i.e. there is no message that I'm not authorized to run those commands).

address@hidden proski]$ ssh subversions.gnu.org -l proski cvs server            
       
Connection to subversions.gnu.org closed by remote host.
address@hidden proski]$ ssh subversions.gnu.org -l proski ls        
Connection to subversions.gnu.org closed by remote host.
address@hidden proski]$

I also tried Kerberos, also unsuccessfully:

address@hidden proski]$ kinit address@hidden
kinit(v5): Client not found in Kerberos database while getting initial 
credentials
address@hidden proski]$

Please restore my write access to the CVS repository.  Feel free to 
forward this message.
