"Malformed network data" when trying ls over SSH
Hi !
I am using Win2k with Cygwin. I installed OpenSSH and I can logon
to the machine using plink.exe from Putty, which is an Open Source
SSH client. I can execute commands, etc. and everything works fine.
My problem is that svn reports an error when it connects to the server.
I guess I did something wrong somewhere, but I do not know where !
Anyway, my first real question is: Should I leave the svnserve process
running as a daemon if I use lib_ra_svn over SSH ? I tried the commands
below both with and without the process running, so it seems it is not
necessary.
Here's the command I use to start the server process:
E:\>svnserve -r r -d
"r" is the name of the folder I want to share as root.
Here's what my servers file looks like:
[groups]
home = localhost
[home]
svn-tunnel-agent = C:\putty\plink.exe
When I try to connect to the machine, I get this message:
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\APPLIC~1\SUBVER~1>svn ls svn://localhost/repos
svn: Malformed network data
svn: Malformed network data
I am using Subversion 0.20.0
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\APPLIC~1\SUBVER~1>svn --version
svn, version 0.20.0 (r5410)
compiled Mar 24 2003, 22:54:20
Thanks !

Hi !
Ok, I ran both commands, and here's what I got:
C:\>plink Administrateur@localhost pwd
Administrateur@localhost's password:
/home/Administrateur
C:\>plink Administrateur@localhost /bin/true
Administrateur@localhost's password:
C:\>
So, it looks like my channel is quite clear.
Anything else I should try ?
Thanks,
François

A really easy test:
"ssh servername /bin/true" should produce no output.

If you run something like "ssh servername ls", do you see any output
other than the output of ls? If so, that's what is confusing ra_svn.

Sorry but, what is a dotfile ?
And, what do you mean that I do not have a clear SSH channel ? I can
connect using plink (ssh-like program) and the putty client.
Thanks,
Francois

Most likely you don't have a clear ssh channel; your dotfiles are
spewing some kind of output. In the future, tunneled ra_svn might
protect against that sort of thing, but for now it does not.

No; it won't have any effect.
