CVS access

[febo]

Dear all,
I am experiencing some stupid access problem to the CVS server. Following (as carefully as I could) the instructions that Juergen sent to the mailing list, when I right-click the local folder and choose "CVS checkup", first I receive this encouraging feedback:

Code: Select all

In D:\Tools\BCI2000: "C:\Programmi\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "checkout" "-P" "BCI2000"
CVSROOT=:ext:bciro@turtle.medpsych.uni-tuebingen.de:/home/bcicvs/cvsroot

but then PuTTY complains about an "unable to autenticate" Fatal Error with a messagebox and everything concludes with:

Code: Select all

cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `Access denied
' from cvs server
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

[color=red]Error, CVS operation failed[/color]

Possibly the following can give an hint to discover what I did wrong. I typed on the command line:

Code: Select all

ssh -l bciro turtle.medpsych.uni-tuebingen.de

,
typed the password after having been requested to do it, but obtained again an autentication error - after 3 tries the error is:

Code: Select all

Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

Can anyone suggest any idea or a test I can perform to find out my error?
I use Windows XP SP2, TortoiseCVS 1.8.9 and WinMerge 2.2.0.0 if it matters.
Thanks

PS my institution has a firewall and I had port 22 open. Before that I had a "can't connect" kind of error.
PS2 I used the second set of instructions that Juergen sent us. Before that the error was even nastier (can't recall now)

Febo,

We have seen this on different machines as well. At the moment, we are not sure what exactly the problem is. However, we do know that it works just fine on Administrator accounts. From what you posted, it looks like that it can't communicate the public/private keys. You might try making the current user an Administrator, downloading the code, and then switching back to regular user level. In any case, using the 'Administrator' account should work.

If anybody can shed some light on this issue, help is greatly appreciated.

Febo,

you are trying to use the "bciro" read-only account to access the CVS server using a CVS client program on your machine.

For read-only access, there is the cvsview web interface at http://turtle.medpsych.uni-tuebingen.de/bcicvs, as described in section 4 of the CVS setup document. For read-only access, you will use a web browser, and download the source code as a gzipped archive (always generated from the latest source code version "on the fly"), at http://turtle.medpsych.uni-tuebingen.de ... ?tarball=1

If you need read-write access, please contact Gerwin Schalk to obtain a personal login and password.

Please excuse the misleading way in which that information was presented in the CVS setup document.
The CVS setup document has been updated to clarify the distinction between read-only access via a web browser, and read-write access via a CVS client software.

Dear Juergen,
this does shed light on the issue, and makes me feel a bit less stupid
Thank you very much
