ssh cvs
Hi,
sorry does someone know how to use extssh cvs authentication without a
keyfile?
My cvs has only ssh2 access but use passwords instead of key files.
As i read in the documentation the .cvspass file only works with
pserver.
Any ideas for a workaround?
Thanks for any hints.
Stefan

As the previous post said, you can use ssh-agent, or (and not really a
good idea, but I guess it's the same as using .cvspass) you can generate
a key-pair with an empty pass-phrase. Then you won't be prompted for a
password when you make a successful connection.

Out of the box, ssh supports both key files and passwords--using
the key files if they exist, then falling back to passwords if they do
not (or if the keys are incorrect). It is not an "either/or"
configuration. Disabling key files takes a willful act of the system
administrator.
Have you tried using key files yet? If so, do they have all the
correct permissions? (Ssh is picky about some files not being writable
by group+other and other files not even being readable by group+other,
and doesn't offer much as far as error messages for permission
problems).

You can use a ssh agent.
