[Savannah-hackers] Cannot access cvs repository

[Richard Sperling]

I'm having a problem that others have reported: I cannot connect to the 
cvs repository. Per the instructions, I performed the following steps in 
the order listed:

1. Created ~/.ssh/config; this file contains the following two lines:

Host subversions.gnu.org
Protocol 1

2. Typed 'ssh-keygen -t rsa1'

The contents of ~/.ssh/identity.pub are:

1024 35 
149273233135698704784346048211867084305262178844022213800266318731573990238268923183080771282459611698615644550454702669643381102109744094325821701757855996427456685319182759856223013070258272776446531728857013566498315913400342578164111878852392148056120704514197330176409249966158033839195765789000649739539 
address@hidden

I entered this key on my account page and it shows the presence of a 
single key as expected. I do, however, have a question. When I enter the 
key on my account page, am I supposed to include 'address@hidden' that 
appears at the end of the key listed above? Currently, the key does in 
fact include that last bit.

3. I waited 6 hours to ensure that the cron job was run.

4. Typed the following:

export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 address@hidden:/cvsroot/openvortex co openvortex

The output of the above command is:

address@hidden:~/downloads> cvs -z3 
address@hidden:/cvsroot/openvortex co openvortex
address@hidden's password:
2496: Permission denied, please try again.
address@hidden's password:
2496: Permission denied, please try again.
address@hidden's password:
2496: Permission denied.
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages 
if any)

4. The output of 'ssh -v address@hidden' is:

At this point I typed C-c to interrupt the process.

I'm at a loss and need your help. Thanks.
