newbie CVSROOT/passwd questions
Dear CVS users: I am a pretty newbie in cvs admin, could someone take a little time to guide me through the following problems: 1) In file "CVSROOT/passwd", If I define: huaer::cvs where "huaer" is not a system userID. Now I want to communicate between the repository and sandbox with SSH, what info I should use in the "-d CVSROOT"? i.e. cvs -d :ext:cvs@:/home/CVSROOT co cm If I use username:"cvs", and its password to access to the repository, how can I know it is the user "huaer" instead of other people did this checkout??? I mean when we shall use these info in the "CVSROOT/passwd"?? 2) How to generate the second field? Is there any command or softwares available under Linux? 3) what's the difference between pserver and SSH on using the file "CVSROOT/passwd"? Many thanks..

SSH authentication key
Hi, I am using a Linux server to maintian a package with CVS, other ppl can access to the repository by SSH. Now that I can generate SSH-authentication keys by "ssh-keygen" of Linux, or by some Windows clients, like WinSSHClient(www.ssh.com). My question is if or not I can keep more than one key on my server, i.e., every user has his/her own key, and if so how to configure? Also it seems to me that I can only use root, say "su", to run ssh-keygen, otherwise, the keys are something like "?", and "?.pub" Is there anything wrong?? I am very new in this field, please advise me, many thanks.. XC ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
passphrase and WinCVS
Dear CVS users: I just have one question on the passphrase and WinCVS. I am now trying to use both WinCVS and Linux ssh to access to the CVS server. When I generate authorized_key with ssh-keygen, shall I setup a passphrase? I didnt find a place that I can input passphrase within WinCVS(version 1.3.20.3 Beta20 Build 3). Thank you so much for your suggestions. Huaer, ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Question about CVS-SSH
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.
