Howdy, howdy. It's been almost a year and a half since my last dance with the Sandbox CVS. I'm trying to follow <http://www.bsdconsulting.no/wincvs-ssh/> to get myself reacquainted, and I reached the point where PuTTY logs in successfully, but the host says I can't execute anything there; no checkouts or anything using my account. Do I need "reactivation" or something like that? My SourceForge account is "expaler". Cromwell D. Enage __________________________________ Yahoo!

You can't use the CVS server for real shell access, only for CVS operations. I'm not 100% sure if WinCVS can handle the Sourceforge configuration, but I've had good luck using TortoiseCVS. See: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ssh.shtml Here's a doc on Sourceforge that walks you through configuration of TortoiseCVS + PuTTY: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=25888&group_id=1 -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com

I used in the past cvs command line tool from msysDTK (www.mingw.org) package. I guess that you might need to install MSYS first. B.

Yeah, that's what I previously tried.
Here's a doc on Sourceforge that walks you through configuration of TortoiseCVS + PuTTY:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=25888&group_id=1 The configuration I'm using is: CVSROOT = :ext:expaler@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/booost-sandbox calculated from Protocol = Secure Shell (:ext:) Server = cvs.sourceforge.net Repository folder = /cvsroot/boost-sandbox User name = expaler Module = boost-sandbox Now TortoiseCVS can't find /cvsroot/boost-sandbox/CVSROOT, even though the repository viewer indicates that it's there.

That extra "o" in "booost-sandbox" is a typo, right? Protocol = Secure Shell (:ext:)
Server = cvs.sourceforge.net <http://cvs.sourceforge.net> Repository folder = /cvsroot/boost-sandbox User name = expaler Module = boost-sandbox
Now TortoiseCVS can't find /cvsroot/boost-sandbox/CVSROOT, even though the repository viewer indicates that it's there.
Weird. This setup looks sensible to me. I don't have developer access, so I can't test this with boost-sandbox, but I *can* get into my own projects using a near-identical setup. Same server name (though its really a saved PuTTY session name in my case), Repository is /cvsroot/<project-name>, User name is my sf.net <http://sf.net> username, and Module is <project-name>. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
