Passphraseless pubkey auth works just fine with sshd as SYSTEM.

Oops... now I see how my snippage could have caused confusion. I just left
in the stuff at the top for basic context. I just wanted to say that the
remote crerepos test will pass if it has the right support. I wasn't
thinking about server mode.

It seems 'lsdiff' screwed up:

$ lsdiff cvs-1.11.5-1.patch
cvs-1.11.5/CYGWIN-PATCHES/cvs.README
cvs-1.11.5/CYGWIN-PATCHES/postinstall.sh
cvs-1.11.5/CYGWIN-PATCHES/setup.hint
cvs-1.11.5/Makefile.in
cvs-1.11.5/aclocal.m4
cvs-1.11.5/config.h.in
cvs-1.11.5/configure
$

Whereas fgrep '+++' shows the truth.


Max.
