Setting up SSH-Based CVS in Windows?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday June 4, 2002 @06:30AM from the not-all-ENVs-are-created-equal dept.

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?"

How did this get selected? I think this is a conspiracy. This is obviously a question that is specific to a particular app that runs under Windows. It's not News for Nerds but more like a Windows Annoyance Sounds like Cliff was secretly replaced by a Perl script, or worse a VB script, that counts key words (ssh, cvs, environment variables, command line, password) and posts the highest scored submissions.
