[JSch-users] Problem using JSch to access a CVS repository within NetBeans 5 beta 2

[M L. <mi...@th...>]

Hi all,

I'm having an usual problem that's stumped both myself and others on the 
NetBeans user list.  I'm using the built-in support for CVS over SSH 
within NetBeans, which apparently uses JSch for the SSH layer.  The 
problem I'm seeing is that connecting to one server in particular yields 
an authentication error.  That server is a Debian Sarge using OpenSSH 
and CVS.  The one catch is that it is authenticating using NIS.  (I'm 
not the server admin, but I can get you any information that may be 
helpful.)  I can connect to that same server using PuTTY normally or 
using CVSNT for CVS access.

This is what NetBeans logs:

INFORMATIONAL *********** Exception occurred ************ at 12:56 PM on

Any clue how I could go about diagnosing the problem?  I know I can use 
external SSH programs with NetBeans but it seems I may have stumbled 
onto a bug that should be addressed.

Thanks so much for the help!  Let me know if I can provide other 
information.
