PCL-CVS and SSH

PCL-CVS and SSH

[drkm]

  Hello

  When I use `cvs-examine', I get the *cvs* buffer.  `cvs(1)' is
running, but never stops.  I use ssh, and when I run `cvs(1)' from the
shell, it asks me interactivelly for my password.  PCL-CVS does not.

  I found nothing about password in PCL-CVS Info file nor Emacs Lisp
sources.  Google and Google Groups didn't help me.

  I use GNU Emacs.  `M-x version' :

    GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-windows98.3000) of 2004-07-26 on
    BERATUNG4

  Any idea ?

You have to arrange things such that running cvs happens without asking you
for a password.  Typically this involves setting up an ssh-agent.

  There is no way to make PCL-CVS asks me for a password, or tell it
this via some variable ?

  Thanks,

Not in a terminal, I guess. Running under X it pops up an x11 dialog
asking for the password here.

Greetings,
Jochen

Indeed, the only way is to get SSH to pop a dialog box.
But using an ssh-agent is a lot more convenient.

  So, if I understand, what describes Jochen is done by SSH, not by
PCL-CVS.  Right ?  If it is, there is some easy way to make PCL-CVS
asks itself for the password ?  If you describe where the
modifications are to be done, I can try to do something.
