anyone?


It is related but I can expand on that...

SSH LOGIN:
To use WinCVS effectively with SSH, I'd advise you to configure your
Sourceforge environment to use your RSA keys for automatic "password-less"
login. See
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=767&group_id=1

The basic steps are:
1. Generate a key using an SSH key-gen utility. PuTTY is a popular SSH suite
for Windows that has a key-gen.
2. Add your *public* key file to the SF servers via the "Edit Keys" feature
on your SF account management page. This takes about 6 hours to propagate to
all the relevant servers.
3. If you are using the SSH supplied with SFSETUP, copy your public and
private key files to:
	C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\.ssh on your Win2K computer (You will
need to create .ssh directory from commandline)
4. Wait for the 6 hours and try to login interactively to
cvs.jboss.sourceforge.net using SSH. You should specify your SF username on
the commandline.
5. If this login is successful (i.e. no password needed) then you are ready
to use WinCVS again. (Note incidentally that the SF cvs server will accept
your SSH login and log you out again immediately after telling you it is a
restricted shell)


CVS COMMANDS:
Assuming that you've setup WinCVS 1.2 to use SSH as indicated in the
document, you end up with a configuration that will really only allow true
SSH access only if you use the Admin->CommandLine feature in WinCVS.
Basically, to get the SSH access, you need to use the command line from
within WinCVS!!. The only other feature that I have found to work on WinCVS
from the menu is the "Create->Checout Module" command.

Good luck. I may have more on this later...
