Subject: pcl-cvs on os X over ssh (instead of rsh)
Date: Wed, 03 May 2006 15:00:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <445927E4.5020508@cyberflowsolutions.com> (raw)
Greetings all,
I'm sure you get this bonehead question alot so I apologize in advance.
I'm using pcl-cvs in the stock emacs on os X 10.4.6 (it appears to be
version 21.2) and I can't seem to get remote cvs repository access
working. Every time i try to run M-x cvs-update or M-x cvs-status or
such it outputs this in the middle of the normal cvs buffer instead of a
file list or a prompt for a password (which i would expect):
Message: cvs [status aborted]: end of file from server (consult above
messages if any)
Message: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
Has anyone out there got some advice for me on how to fix this?
my CVSROOT=:ext:me@dev:/home/cvs and my CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
I'm told that using rsh instead of ssh for the CVS_RSH isn't an option,
and neither is :pserver: instead of :ext: due to security flaws in inetd
It should be noted that the command-line cvs binary prompts for a
password every time and works correctly when supplied a password. Also
I am aware I might be able to sidestep this problem by using RSA
authentication through a public ssh key but I don't want to do this
unless its my only option.
anyway, any help is welcomed, thanks in advance,
~jon
