Follow-up Comment #1, sr #106183 (project administration): After exploring some more, I realized that I have to login as admin & set the "rsa" & "dsa" public keys for CVS access. I generated the "rsa" & "dsa" keys on my system & put the public keys in. I seem to get further but still not able to access CVS with write access. I tried "cvs checkout", "ssh" to "cvs.savannah.gnu.org" but to no avail. Here is what I tried & the output -
