I have a question for all of you SourceForge gurus out there. I have a
non-LEGO project (its related to work) hosted on SourceForge. I have my Sun
workstation and my WinXP PC both configured to use CVS and both work without
any problems. I use WinCVS on my PC and standard command line CVS on the
Sun.
On the PC I can load my SSH keys one time during my WinCVS session and I can
merrily check files in willy-nilly.
On the Sun I have to issue my SourceForge password each time I check a file
in or run an update.
Our software is now available on Linux as well so I have spent the last few
days loading Linux on my PC and getting an environment ready so I can build
my application which interacts with our software.
The behavior of CVS on Linux is slightly different from the Sun which
surprised me. On Linux I am asked for my "challenge phrase" instead of my
password. I don't mind typing my password each time, I don't do that many
check-in operations but the challenge phrase I chose is pretty long and
entering it each time has become a nuisance.
Now it is entirely possible that I didn't follow the SourceForge CVS set up
correctly but I don't think so.
So my question to all of you: Is there something which runs on Solaris
and/or Linux which is similar to the process on the PC where you only have
to issue the password or challenge phrase once?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

| (...) Assuming you're using openssh, you can look at ssh-agent. Basically, it's a process that runs in the background, that you can load your keys into (entering your passphrase once), and it will make the keys available for the ssh sessions that (...)
