Dear CVS users: I am a newbie in this field. And I am trying to setup CVS on a Linux Mandrake server, and maintain my codes through SSH by different PCs including Win-XP and Linux system. (I followed a instruction on the following link: http://mariner.cs.ucdavis.edu/slackware/doc/applications/cvs-over-ssh.txt)
Now I did the following things in my server. 1) I have setup CVSROOT in my account "/home/cvs", and a repository named "ABC" has been imported. 2) then I generate public key authentication for the cvs account by ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t dsa 3) copy /root/.ssh/id_dsa.pub into the directory ""/home/cvs/.ssh2" 4) generate ".ssh2/authorization", and put the following two lines into the file: key id_dsa.pub Options command="/usr/bin/cvs server",no-x11-forwarding At the remote workstation with Debian Linux system, I did the following: 1) in .cshrc, add the following two lines setenv CVS_RSH ssh setenv CVSROOT :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs 2) Copy "id_dsa.pub" from the server and put it in the ".ssh2" directory. 3) echo "idkey id_dsa" > ~/.ssh2/identification After I re-login to the remote workstation, and run: cve checkout ABC It return the following error info: cvs [checkout aborted]: Cannot check out files into the repository itself Please help what I was doing wrong in the above steps, and please give me more suggestions if possible, many thanks.
