I still can't seem to get "developer CVS access" to work
at Savannah. Although I have generated an rsa1 key and
registered the public key in my Savannah account, I still
get the following results:

---------------

$ cvs -z3 address@hidden:/cvsroot/axiom co axiom
address@hidden's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
address@hidden's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
address@hidden's password:
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages
if any)

--------------

Note: The documentation says that I would only be asked
for a password if the authentication fails, but if I do
try to enter a password anyway, after three failed
attempts I don't always get the full

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

message. Sometimes it just says

  Permission denied.

I am beginning to wonder whether this mode works only
if one is also registered as a "developer" for the
project. You explained earlier why at this time only
you are registered as a developer.

Regards,
Bill.
