Setting up SSH-Based CVS in Windows?

cromacks asks: "I am trying to set up CVS on my Windows 2000 machine so that I can checkout repositories from our server. As far as I know, it uses ssh authentication, and that seems to be giving me the problems. I'm using cvs from cvshome.org through my command line, and I have already set my environment variables (HOME, CVSROOT, and CVS_RSH=c:\WINNT\plink). The problem is, when i go to do the checkout, i receive the following error: ' from cvs serverning: unrecognized response 'cromacks@cs.bc.edu's password: it repeats that line until I Ctrl-c. Any suggestions?"

wtf isup with Ask Slashdot lately? These kinds of questions belong in mailing lists, newsgroups, and webforums that are specifically targetted at supporting these products.

Ask Slashdot should be about Big questions, questions that matter to large fractions of the geek population, questions that are very hard to answer, questions that deal more in the theory of things than in a technical answer to a specific problem.

What amounts to a tech support request for CVS on Win2k doesn't belong here on the front page of slashdot, and this is only the most recent ina string of bad Ask Slashdots.
