Chris, Thanks for the response. > Q: How do I avoid typing my ssh password all the time? I had the impression that this FAQ referred to the situation where, you're able to connect, but would like to avoid the hastle of repeatedly typing your password. > > When trying to use darcs via ssh, I keep getting prompted for my > > password. I should have said, I'm unable to connect - I'm repeatedly prompted for my password, as if it was incorrect. I'm able to connect just fine when using ssh directly, e.g. # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks again!
