pclcvs / ssh

pclcvs / ssh

[Pierre Lorenzon]

Hi all,

pclcvs crashes when used in conjunction with a ssh access to
the cvs server. 

More precisely : I check out a module on a machine C while the
server is on a machine S. Hence the directory containing the
module files is correct all CVS files are present and so
on. When doing cvs up in the corresponding directory (from
console) the password on machine S i asked and when supplied
everything goes well. 

Trying same operation within emacs with pclcvs a simply get a
message saying that connection aborted and emacs never require
me for any password. 

Reading pclcvs documentation I did not find anything concerning
these authentication processes. Is it simply not supported by
pclcvs or did I miss something ?

Maybe you could first tell us on which version of GNU Emacs this
occurs ?

Hi,

   Sorry I forgot this detail but I am currently using emacs 22.

Did you try with the -Q switch to see if the problem could come
from your own customisations ? If not, please try and report.

	According to your mails I might guess that pclcvs does
	support password authentication through ssh. But is it
	true yes or no ? Can you give a positive answer to this
	simple question ? "Does pclcvs support ssh transactions
	?" If yes I can investigate whatever to understand why
	it does not function on my system ; if not there is no
	need to do anything !

Hi Pierre,

The short answer is yes.

For more information, you can look at emacswiki which has a page
about way to use it[1]

Any error message ? Also, are you using an exotic operating
system such as Microsoft Windows ?

½Here is the *cvs* buffer content :

      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 --


   This commant issued in the consol works perfectly !

  Oh no ! You know, the problem is that pcl cvs never requires
  password. Hence it can not work !
