[/etc/savannah/nongnu-content]# cat /etc/passwd  | nl |grep proski
   102  proski:x:60071:65534:Pavel Roskin 
<address@hidden>:/home/proski:/usr/local/bin/cvssh


[/etc/savannah/nongnu-content]# cat /etc/shadow |  nl | grep proski



But anyway, proski, you are using kerberos, aren't he (you were doing test from
fencepost)?

Have you tried the following?



Developer CVS Access via Kerberos 5

Only project developers who also have a kerberos account on gnu.org
can access the CVS tree via this method. CVS with GSSAPI support must
be installed on your client machine (--with-gssapi --enable-encryption
configure flags). Substitute developername with the proper value.

Software repository:

cvs -z3 -d:gserver:<developername>@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/pdbv
co <modulename>

Webpages repository:

cvs -z3 -d:gserver:<developername>@subversions.gnu.org:/webcvs co
/non-gnu/pdbv




In this case, are /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow usefull?
Since you have a kerberos account, you are probably using it for
savannah. It means that you probably never entered any Savannah
password. So /etc/shadow cannot get any password information for you.

Can you try with kerberos?
