Re: [Savannah-hackers] SSH problem - keeps asking for password

[Sylvain BEUCLER]

Hello,

Only accounts that are part of a project are actually created on the system. If 
you want to access a project you are not member of, you can use the 'anoncvs' 
CVS user:

cvs -z3 address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
