Re: [Savannah-hackers] CVS server problem

[Sylvain Beucler]

CVS is using SSH to connect to Savannah.

> tcp        0      1 mklab.ph.rhul.ac.u:1023 savannah.gnu.org:shell
shows you are using rsh instead (I have savannah.gnu.org:ssh instead).

Try:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
before to type the cvs command, and it should work.
