Re: [Gomp-discuss] The Continuing CVS Saga

[Lars Segerlund]

 I found this snippet on savannah.nongnu.org -> userfaq -> How do I 
configure my SSH access ?

 Perhaps you should ask them since there is a email address for 
support, and also reference to the support manager.

 The password/passphrase thing looks interesting also, when I do a cvs 
up it asks me for the passphrase, can you verify this ?

 / Lars Segerlund.

Common troubles:
If, while (for example) you try to write on your download area, it asks 
you for a password and not a passphrase, it means that your key is not 
recognized. It can be a matter of time (the cron job...) or, generally, 
it means that your key is not a correct SSH1 RSA key. If you think you 
have done everything correctly, use the support manager [ 
http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?group_id=11 ] or write to 
address@hidden explaining your problem, providing copy/paste 
from the errors messages.
