I've not been able to get CVS working properly under Sun (Solaris 8 - Sparc). I have not had trouble with the same commands under Debian (Sarge).
Here's the output from my CVS command: % cvs -z3 -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/unrtf co . Enter passphrase for key '/home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/id_dsa': cvs [checkout aborted]: premature end of file from server And here is the output from SSH to savannah: % ssh -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenSSH_3.7p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003 debug1: Reading configuration data /usr/local/security3.7/etc/ssh_config debug1: Connecting to cvs.savannah.gnu.org [199.232.41.69] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.7p1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'cvs.savannah.gnu.org' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/known_hosts:5 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/identity debug1: Trying private key: /home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Offering public key: /home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-dss blen 433 debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown> Enter passphrase for key '/home/User/subnets/qa/daines/.ssh/id_dsa': debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: Entering interactive session.
