Description Bill Moran 2005-04-19 17:20:10 UTC

      This page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html
Section A.3.2 claims that anoncvs@anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org does not need
a password.  However, I was unable to use this server without a password.

Fix: 

I suspect the server's policy has changed and the docs need updated.
How-To-Repeat: bash-2.05b$ cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs checkout doc
Password:
Password:
Password:
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
(Note: just hit enter on the password prompt)

Without being sure at all (I don't know who runs
anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org), it could be the anoncvs was temporarily shut
down due to the latest round of CVS vulnerabilities.

Responsible Changed
From-To: freebsd-doc->remko

I will work on this PR. I know who runs anoncvs1 and i will ask how and what.

Comment 3 Brad Davis 2005-04-19 18:01:18 UTC

This is because I have rebuilt the machine and I haven't had time to
complete setting up anoncvssh. I hope to finish it tonight, in the mean
time please use anoncvs.freebsd.org.

Got it.  Thanks.

I'm able to get what I want by using anoncvs.freebsd.org, but I just wanted
it to be known that the other isn't working.

I guess this means the PR can be closed.
