[Savannah-help-public] [sr #106349] Passwordless SSH for CVS

[Damian Eads]

Follow-up Comment #2, sr #106349 (project administration):

Hi,

I have tried using ssh-agent as you have suggested. Following instructions
here, http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/~iam23/compnotes/passwordless_ssh.html 
I have created an <code>authorized_keys</code> file.

<pre>
[eads chestnut]$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | grep savannah.nongnu.org >
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
</pre>

Next, I'll run ssh-agent over a bash shell and do a cvs update. It should ask
me for my password, which I am guessing is normal.

<pre>
[eads chestnut]$ ssh-agent bash
[eads chestnut]$ cvs update
Enter passphrase for key '/home/redfox/.ssh/id_dsa': 
</pre>

Now when I try cvs updating once more, it asks me for my password again.

<pre>
[eads chestnut]$ cvs update
Enter passphrase for key '/home/redfox/.ssh/id_dsa': 
</pre>

Obviously, I'm not doing something right. Please help.

Thank you.

Damian
