emacs.22 Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.22 (client/server)

[Pierre Lorenzon]

Hi, 

When issuing M-x cvs-examine *cvs* buffer contains

Repository : :ext:root@jabberwocky:/web/srv/sources/cvs
Module     : lorenzon/Mathematique
Working dir: ~/Mathematique/



Message: cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
Message: Connection closed by 192.168.0.5

--------------------- Empty ---------------------
-- last cmd: cvs -f -n update -d -P --

   I should precise that the remote machine jabberwocky is
   accessible through ssh only. And I have following line in my
   .bashrc :
   CVS_RSH=ssh
   Hence when I issue 
   $ cvs -f -n update -d -P
   in the consol the ssh password for root on jabberwocky is
   required and when provided the update goes perfectly. 

   But when using pcl-cvs, nothing is required neither a
   password nor anythingelse and I simply get this message that
   no connection is possible to the server : sure ! ssh has
   never allowed any connection without password ! 

   So does pcl-cvs support this sort of dialog ? I read
   carefully the documentation and posted several message on
   the list help-gnu-emacs but getting no clear answer ! 

   Sorry if my question was posted too many times but it seems
   that google can not find many page related to this topic !

   Bests

Is Emacs always started from bash? It will only inherit bash's 
environment variables if it is started from there.

What does M-x getenv RET CVS_RSH say?

PCL-CVS does not do anything special to support password dialogs.
Have you installed ssh-askpass so that SSH can ask for your passowrd via
an X11 dialog?
