[savannah-help-public] [sr #108996] Unable to perform 'member' access checkout or ssh

[Bob Proulx]

Follow-up Comment #1, sr #108996 (project administration):

Hello Amin,

At this time you are not a member of any group.  The way the Savannah code is
written (IIUC) requires an account to be a member of a group before the Unix
account is created.  Because you are not a member of any group there has been
no account creation for you.  Because there is no Unix account this prevents
any ssh access.  (I confirmed that you do not have a Unix account created
yet.)

Once you are a member of any group then the Unix account is created and ssh
access is enabled.  Once ssh access is enabled then you may use ssh access to
check out read-only from any project hosted on Savannah.  You still only have
write access to the groups of which you are a member.

What was the advantage of using ssh checkouts instead of anonymous pserver
checkouts?

Regardless I am very happy to see that you have uploaded an ssh rsa key.  That
can be useful during account recovery when people lose email access to the
listed email address.  I also recommend uploading a GPG public key too for the
same reason.
