Now I'm having problems accessing a cvs repository on a linux box over ssh. Everything was working fine until this SP2 upgrade. I can access the cvs host via ssh normally (although in a possibly related matter, ssh sometimes seems to be a character behind when using vi remotely -- has anyone else noticed that behavior? This was true before the SP2 upgrade). Invoking cvs remotely without a password seems to work fine: $ ssh user AT cvshost cvs Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments] where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc. (specify --help-options for a list of options) where command is add, admin, etc. (specify --help-commands for a list of commands or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms) where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command (specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help) Specify --help to receive this message The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control. For CVS updates and additional information, see the CVS home page at http://www.cvshome.org/ or Pascal Molli's CVS site at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html However, if I try to issue a local cvs command (CVS_RSH=ssh, etc., nothing has change client side or server side except the SP2 upgrade), then the command hangs: $ cvs status myFile.txt cvs status: warning: unrecognized response `Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication dat' from cvs servering. (never returns) Examining the process server side reveals that the cvs process is hung on reading stdin: # strace -p 5316 read(0, Is anyone aware of any changes in SP2 that would cause this problem? Are there any workarounds? cc -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
