[Savannah-hackers] SSH/CVS authentication troubles for the swbis project.

[Jim Lowe]

This is a new project made within the last week.

I can't get cvs to stop asking for a password:

My project is 'swbis' and login is 'jhlowe'

Here is what CVS does:

$ CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/webcvs/swbis co swbis
address@hidden's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
address@hidden's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
address@hidden's password:
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

Below are the checks I make to see the the ssh agent has the 
key added. It appears it does. I have compared the public key
using cksum by copying/pasting from the savannah web page and it
does match the public key file on my hard drive.

Here is how I made the key

        $ cat ~/.ssh/config
        Protocol 2
        ForwardAgent no

        $ ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 -f /home/jhl/jhl/id_dsa_gnu2

        $ ssh-keygen -l -f /home/jhl/jhl/id_dsa_gnu2.pub
        2048 8f:66:71:db:4e:e8:8c:f3:67:df:9e:ef:f0:3b:a6:8e 
/home/jhl/jhl/id_dsa_gnu2.pub

My current shell has the agent with the key added. As 

        $ ssh-add -l
        2048 8f:66:71:db:4e:e8:8c:f3:67:df:9e:ef:f0:3b:a6:8e id_dsa_gnu2 (DSA)

Here is the IP of savannah according to my DNS.

        $ host  savannah.gnu.org
        savannah.gnu.org has address 199.232.41.3

Here are the software versions I am using
 
        $ cvs --version
        Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2 (client/server)

        $ ssh -V
        OpenSSH_3.8p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001
