Carlo, If your CVS user doesn't uses a password. Try this in the SCM URL it may help.
scm:cvs:ext:continuum:@server:/home/cvs:SANDBOX/sampleTestCVS Regards, Alex -----Original Message----- From: Carlo Bonamico [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 10:37 AM To: continuum-users@maven.apache.org Subject: :ext: CVS connection method Hi, I am trying to configure continuum to import a Maven 1.x project, but Continuum fails to checkout the sources from CVS using the:ext: method. In the project.xml, I specify this SCM URL scm:cvs:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs:SANDBOX/sampleTestCVS Please note that continuum is the username under which the continuum service runs. The error is: jvm 1 | 2006-01-17 16:41:41,436 [Thread-1] INFO ContinuumScm - Checking out project: 'SampleTestCVS', id: '47' to '/srv/build/continuum/apps/continuum/working-directory/47'. jvm 1 | 2006-01-17 16:41:41,436 [Thread-1] DEBUG ScmManager - Working directory: /srv/build/continuum/apps/continuum/working-directory/47 jvm 1 | 2006-01-17 16:41:41,437 [Thread-1] DEBUG ScmManager - Command line: cvs -f -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs -q checkout -d 47 SANDBOX/sampleTestCVS jvm 1 | 2006-01-17 16:41:41,688 [Thread-1] WARN ContinuumScm - Error while checking out the code for project: 'SampleTestCVS', id: '47' to '/srv/build/continuum/apps/continuum/working-directory/47'. jvm 1 | 2006-01-17 16:41:41,689 [Thread-1] WARN ContinuumScm - Command output: cvs checkout: in directory 47: jvm 1 | cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory jvm 1 | cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot write <CVS/Template file>: No such file or directory But if I launch the same cvs command line cvs -f -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs -q checkout -d 47 SANDBOX/sampleTestCVS manually, the checkout works fine. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.. Carlo p.s. I have configured the server for public key authentication, and if I go to the continuum machine console and perform an ssh server I can log into the server without being asked a password.
