I'm trying to check in the serialization system and am having some problems. According to the sourceforge.net docs I need to "register" my host with my local ssh by logging in in the following manner. $ ssh -l ramey cvs.sourceforge.net Could not create directory '/home/Robert Ramey/.ssh'. The authenticity of host 'cvs.sourceforge.net (66.35.250.207)' can't be established. DSA key fingerprint is 02:ab:7c:aa:49:ed:0b:a8:50:13:10:c2:3e:92:0f:42. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/Robert Ramey/.ssh/known_hosts). ramey@cvs.sourceforge.net's password: Last login: Thu Jul 8 22:22:39 2004 from 226-146.adsl2.netlojix.net Welcome to cvs1.sourceforge.net This is a restricted Shell Account You cannot execute anything here. Connection to cvs.sourceforge.net closed. $ Ssh seems to have difficulty creating/updated a file of known_hosts in my home directory. I'm using windows XP with cygwin shell. I've tried changing environmental variables $HOME, and others but nothing seems to make a difference. Does anyone have any suggestion. I realize that this isn't the best place to post this but I'm kind if desperate. Thank you for your patience. Robert Ramey
