[Gomp-discuss] The Continuing CVS Saga

[Scott Robert Ladd]

I've been buried in work for two months, so I thought I'd let this 
problem rest. Now that I'm wanting to get back into GOMP, I find the -- 
as before -- savannah.gnu.org refuses to accept my authentication.

I've successfully used remote CVS before, although not in the context of 
GNU. I've searched the web high and low, seeking any answer to this 
vexing problem.

To answer the common questions:

Yes, I've registered my public key with savannah via the web interface.

Yes, I've double-cecked what the registered kay against the one on my 
machine.

Yes, I have tried connecting with and without my router in the middle.

Yes, I have my ~/.ssh/config file set correctly, as in:

        # also tried: Host savannah.gnu.org
        Host *gnu.org
            Protocol 1

Here's the result I get when trying to checkout the project:

  $ cvs -z3 -d address@hidden:/cvsroot/gomp co
  address@hidden's password:

No password works. Now, if I try something I found via Google:

  address@hidden:~/projects/gnu$ ssh -v -1 sv.gnu.org
  OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 Debian 1:3.6.1p2-1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 
0x0090702f

  debug1: Waiting for server public key.
  debug1: Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024   bits).
  debug1: Host 'sv.gnu.org' is known and matches the RSA1 host key.
  debug1: Found key in /home/scott/.ssh/known_hosts:7
  debug1: Encryption type: 3des
  debug1: Sent encrypted session key.

  debug1: RSA authentication using agent refused.
  debug1: Trying RSA authentication with key '/home/scott/.ssh/identity'
  debug1: Server refused our key.
  debug1: Doing challenge response authentication.
  debug1: No challenge.
  debug1: Doing password authentication.
  address@hidden's password:

I believe this indicates where the problem lies; the server is refusing 
my key, and so it regresses to password authentication. I do not have a 
shell login for savannah, so I can't verify that my 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file is set correctly.

Frankly, I'm at a loss. I can retrieve files via anonymous access, but 
(as yet) have no way of write-accessing the repository.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
