RE: [csms-dev] Fully functioning CVS

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Stuart,

	I now have full access (although I haven't configured WinCVS fully again
yet). I am, however, able to log into cvs.sourceforge.net using my SSH key
rather than supplying my password. I think you're going to need to start
again at the key generation stage and generate an SSH2 key NOT SSH1
(actually as a precaution for the future I've put one of each in my public
key area on sourceforge). After the required six hours run up pageant make
sure it is contained in a folder 'C:\PUTTY' and load both of your keys into
it then open a DOS box and type :

C:\PUTTY\plink.exe -v smg...@sh... echo "SSH public key
is in place.

You should get something like:

Looking up host "shell.sourceforge.net"
Connecting to 216.136.171.203 port 22
Server version: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.1p1
We believe remote version has SSH2 RSA padding bug
We claim version: SSH-2.0-PuTTY-Snapshot-2002-10-18
Using SSH protocol version 2
Doing Diffie-Hellman group exchange
Doing Diffie-Hellman key exchange
Host key fingerprint is:
ssh-dss 1024 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Using username "leverm".
Pageant is running. Requesting keys.
Pageant has 1 SSH2 keys
Trying Pageant key #0
Authenticating with public key "le...@us..." from agent
Sending Pageant's response
Access granted
Opened channel for session
Started a shell/command
Server sent command exit status 0
SSH public key is in place.

Notice that it is using SSH2 not SSH1 (don't you just love out of date
instructions!)

Now, if you type :

plink.exe -v smg...@cv... echo "SSH public key is in
place."

You should get something like :

Looking up host "cvs.sourceforge.net"
Connecting to 216.136.171.202 port 22
Server version: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.1p1
We believe remote version has SSH2 RSA padding bug

Welcome to cvs.sourceforge.net

This is a restricted Shell Account
You cannot execute anything here.

Again it's using my SSH2 key, not SSH1

This does mean that you have to configure WinCVS slighly differently than
originally posted on the sourceforge website...there's a bit about SSH2 and
WinCVS at the bottom of the page. I'll try that myself either later today or
tomorrow, but at least progress has been made....finally!
