Are you sure that you're not being prompted for your password? this often gives the impression of cvs hanging. switch to the dos box and see what it says. otherwise sorry but I can't help you with this one.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I set up WinCVS and SSH (ssh from the package available on sfsetup.sourceforge.net) and set all the stuff manually according to the wincvs/ssh docs on sourceforge site docs, on a Win 2000 system, and it seemed to hang exactly as you are experiencing.
However, when I saw these messages, it suggested to me that the prompt simply wasn't being displayed. It wasn't. I typed in my password at the non-existant prompt, and it worked fine.
That said, WinCVS seems to open a dospipe.exe for things like cvs release -d CVSROOT... which doesn't appear to work. But I don't think that has to do with sfsetup :)

I can't checkout our project using wincvs.
I have installed sfsetup on winNT4 SP6
here is the cvs log:
CVSROOT: timjoyce@cvs.melati.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/melati (ssh authentication)
TCL is *not* available, shell is disabled
cvs checkout -P org/melati/admin (in directory Z:\sourceforge\melati)
and it just stops although i do get a dos window open running ssh.
any ideas? how can i debug this?
cheers

Hi tim,

The dos-Box does not say anything. So still keep
on hanging.
Are there further recommendations?

Change to the DOS box and type your password or the anon cvs password and hit return.
