It looks like you are using the wrong repository.

Try using this: 
cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/webcvs/fsfe co fsfe

Summary:  cvs SSH key added but cannot login after several hours waiting

Original Submission:  [I can't set severity because the pulldown menu is broken 
in Mozilla 1.4 GNU/Linux]

I am trying to get code:
cvs -z3 address@hidden/cvsroot/fsfe co fsfe

I added my SSH DSA key, (just the hex) but I cannot log in.  Can you tell me if 
just the hex of the DSA key is required?
I copied the hex from /etc/sshd/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub

Thanks for your help to a solution, please cc me in replies! :)

ok, so now i get an error:

$ export CVS_RSH=ssh

$ cvs -z3 address@hidden/cvsroot/fsfe co fsfe
Enter passphrase for key '/home/now3d/.ssh/id_dsa':
Invalid CVSROOT (1)
cvs checkout: invalid data from cvs server
$

any ideas?

Cheers

Ok, sorry, I assumed it was just my system config putting the dsa key in a 
different location:  /etc/sshd/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub

Perhaps this could be clarified on the page? (that daemon keys are not suitable)

Also, how much of the ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file is needed?  the page does not make 
it clear.  does it need the beginning "ssh-dsa" then the hex is compulsary, is 
the "address@hidden" required at the end?  Could these points be clarified on 
the page please?

You setup your key wrong.  For instructions on generating ssh-keys, please 
visit: 
https://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?group_id=5802&question=How_do_I_configure_my_SSH_access.txt

After the key has been generated, copy its contents from your local user 
directory, generally ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, and copy all it's contents onto 
Savannah.
