[PD-dev] pd externals cvs hairiness

[Bryan Jurish]

good morning all,

I've just been trying to import an external into the pd
externals cvs at sourceforge, by doing the following:

 export CVS_RSH=/usr/local/bin/ssh
 export CVSROOT=:ext:mukau at cvs.pure-data.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data
 cvs -z3 import externals/forward mukau initial

... which gives me the following error message, after I type my
(correct) sourceforge password:

  cvs import: warning: unrecognized response `' from cvs server
  cvs import: warning: unrecognized response `Welcome to cvs.sourceforge.net' from cvs server
  cvs import: warning: unrecognized response `' from cvs server
  cvs import: warning: unrecognized response `This is a restricted Shell Account' from cvs server
  cvs import: warning: unrecognized response `You cannot execute anything here.' from cvs server
  cvs import: warning: unrecognized response `' from cvs server
  cvs [import aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

... I've checked the sourceforge page for tips, and I've
been able to successfuly direct-ssh to 'shell.sourceforge.net', but
I get immediately kicked out when I try to ssh anywhere else
(i.e. 'cvs.sourceforge.net')... 

configuration:

  ssh: OpenSSH_3.4p1
  cvs: v1.11
  os : linux (2.4.19)

I use cvs over ssh regularly, but I've never had to deal with
cvs over ssh to a restricted shell before -- does anyone have
any ideas?  did I miss something in the docs?

marmosets,
