CVS access on pgFoundry broken (DSA key changed??)?

From
"Dave Page"
Date:
Hi guys,

I'm getting the following when trying to logon anonymously to the
pgFoundry CVS:

cvs -z9 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.pgfoundry.org:/cvsroot/pginstaller
login
Logging in to
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.pgfoundry.org:2401:/cvsroot/pginstaller
cvs [login aborted]: initgroups failed: Invalid argument

So, Magnus added me to the project as a developer:

cvs -z9 -d :pserver:dpage@cvs.pgfoundry.org:/cvsroot/pginstaller login
Logging in to :pserver:dpage@cvs.pgfoundry.org:2401:/cvsroot/pginstaller
Fatal error, aborting.
cvs [login aborted]: dpage: no such user

And then tried it himself:

cvs update: warning: unrecognized response `The authenticity of host
'cvs.pgfoundry.org (200.46.204.130)' can't be established.' from cvs
server
cvs update: warning: unrecognized response `DSA key fingerprint is
cb:08:ee:77:f4:01:88:14:41:2a:bf:a9:49:3b:4b:65.' from cvs server

If the key has changed it should probably be posted as news. If not,
someone's hijacked the server!!

Regards, Dave

Did you wait about half a day for the cron to update everything?

Not for anonymous access. For authenticated access I must admit that I
didn't notice the requirement for SSL until after I emailed, but then
nothing told me to wait 12 hours to gain access either (unless Magnus
got such a message, but he didn't say he did). On Gborg this was
instant...

I can answer that one - nope, he didn't.

Also - re: the key. Sorry, that was my fault. Turns out my install
accidentally switched to using the wrong version of the SSH protocol and
thuse used DSA instead of the RSA-key that I had stored. Starting cvs
from the correct environment fixed the issue.

The docs says I need to do SSH1, but it seems the server supports SSH2.
Can someone confirm which is correct?

maybe the pserver is down for the anonymous stuff.  Any user related
stuff with cvs is on a cron job.  We should probably mention that on the
site :)  (Note that I think it's silly but the sourceforge/gforge guys
probably had a good reason for making it work that way)

OK, anyone around with root to restart it? That's about the only one of
our VMs I don't have access to.

On that subject, is ssh really required for commit access? It does make
setting things up a touch more complex, especially in a GUI.

I don't believe its a half day on gforge either, but, for now, the cron
does only run once an hour (normally its every 12 minutes) ... so there is
a slight delay ...

k, I got root, but what do you want me to restart? :)  inetd is running,
and cvs is enabled ... ?

btw, you do have an account on  pgfoundry, and you do have sudo access to
root form your dpage account, in case you ever need it ...

Gavin suggested it was down, and seeing as non-anonymous users access it
via ssh it kinda made sense that the server might not be running. Mind
you, the error doesn't suggest such an obvious problem:

cvs -z9 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.pgfoundry.org:/cvsroot/pginstaller
login
Logging in to
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.pgfoundry.org:2401:/cvsroot/pginstaller
cvs [login aborted]: initgroups failed: Invalid argument

I can now login as dpage using pserver btw.

OK, thanks.
