hi list,
first time around:
I've recently had a first look at fossil. it's mostly working as
advertised but communication via ssh won't work. from going through the
archives I get the impression that this is a rather long standing problem
(~ years...) related to interfering output from the remote shell or
"wrong" behaviour of tcsh or what else.
my setting:
I'm running fossil 1.24 on both my labtop (macbook) and the server (recent
ubuntu). the server is _only_ accessible via ssh from the outside.
what I tried up to now
-- suppressed the annoying MOTD/login message generated by the server
-- suppressed the "Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data
for X11 forwarding." message by adding the `-x' flag to fossil's
ssh-command via `set'(i.e. fsl set ssh-command 'ssh -vvv -x -e none -T': I
added `-vvv' to get some debug output from ssh, but omitting -vvv makes no
difference)
-- tentatively changed my login shell on the server from `tcsh' to `bash'
when I login to the server (keys are set up so that no password has to be
provided) from the command line with `ssh -x' I get a smooth login
to the server -- no questions asked, nothing send to the terminal.
when I try to clone a repository from the server I get what seemingly many
have seen before one way or the other:
$ fossil clone ssh://myserver/path_to_repository clone.fossil
leads to this output:
ssh -vvv -x -e none -T myserver
OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011
...
debug1: Authentication succeeded ...
...
debug2: shell request accepted on channel 0
fossil: ssh connection failed: []
debug2: channel 0: read<=0 rfd 5 len 0
debug2: channel 0: read failed
debug2: channel 0: close_read
...
Killed by signal 2.
I could not find _any_ working recipe on the net how to get it going. I
would really appreciate if the ssh issue could get addressed by the
developers. while I appreciate the "http centric" design of fossil,
exclusive communication to secure servers via ssh is quite a general
situation. out of the box usability
of ssh thus seems to me mandatory for fossil to gain widespread acceptance
(just my 2c, of course...)
my specific question: could someone advise how I can make fossil happy
with ssh (and me with fossil)?
thx
joerg
