[Hamlib-developer] CVS = no joy...

[Nate B. <n0...@ne...>]

Hi All.

I apologize for not getting any updates to the web page lately.  I
haven't forgotten about it, I've just had a bunch of stuff come up
lately.  I am in the process of relocating and have been getting the
house ready for sale and will (hopefully) be moving in a few weeks.  Of
course during this time I may not get as much done as I'd like, but I
hope to keep on developing the documentation.

Also, I cannot access CVS.  For three weeks now I have tried with no
success.  I just entered my fourth request for support, but my enthusiam
that the problem will be fixed rather than just receiving a form letter
is waning.

Sorry for the lack of good cheer, but I wanted to let you know I hadn't
yet lost interest in the hamlib project.

73, de Nate >>

What problems are you having ?? 

This should work for you if you have setup and stored your ssh key

export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d...@cv...:/cvsroot/hamlib co hamlib

Getting an error that cvs couldn't chdir to /home/users/n0nb

Gave it a try and received the same error:

nomad:~/src $ cvs -z3 -d...@cv...:/cvsroot/hamlib
co hamlib
n0...@cv...'s password: 
Could not chdir to home directory /home/users/n0nb: No such file or
directory
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/home/users/n0nb): No such file or
directory

Ordinarily, I've tried the more automatic method with the env variables
set and the short checkout command:

nomad:~/src $ echo $CVSROOT
:ext:n0...@cv...:/cvsroot/hamlib
nomad:~/src $ echo $CVS_RSH
ssh
nomad:~/src $ cvs co hamlib
n0...@cv...'s password: 
Could not chdir to home directory /home/users/n0nb: No such file or
directory
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/home/users/n0nb): No such file or
directory
nomad:~/src $ 

One clue is the continued prompting for the password even though
~/.ssh/authorized_keys exists on the sourceforge home directory server
and an ssh login works with no password prompt.  I think the problem
lies in the fact that when my home directory was created it was created
with a group of n0nb rather than users.  The majority of the users
directories have a group of users including yours and Stephane's.

So until, and unless, someone over there can take an interest in my real
problem, I'm locked out.
