Hi Dave,

This problem is not with CVS. You should ask for help from the sf.net
folks....

You probably need to use the :ext: method rather than :pserver: to do
commits:

  cvs -z3 \
   -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/chessdb \
   checkout cheesdb

This will use your ssh keys and should allow you to do both checkouts
and commits.

        Good luck,
        -- Mark
