[cvsnt] Re: Using plink for secure connection from CVSNT to a LinuxCVS Repository

[Hermanski, John]

The CVSNT Password Agent seems to take care of things after an initial password entry.

But, it's not using the key files...

Yes, why not?

It works!!!

I know that I tried it in one of my many attemtps to get things going - I got back "command not found".  But I probably had CVS_RSH or CVS_EXT set to "ssh".  It looks like it's internal to cvsnt, though.  There's a ssh DLL.  So, looks like I'm finally off and running.

One last question - how do I get ssh to pick up my private key?  I tried putting it in the cvsnt directory, and in my home directory.  Again, I know the keys work using Putty or Plink.

Thanks a lot for your help,

John Hermanski

Why not just use :ssh: protocol with CVSNT?  It works great for me with 
no fussing.  CVSROOT would be ":ssh:jgherman at servername.com:/repospath". 
  It also takes advantage of any keys stored in pageant and you can 
force ssh ver 2 if necessary with :ssh;ver=2: for the protocol (if 
memory serves).
