Greetings and salutations. Please forgive my lack of knowledge - this is
the first CVS server I have setup and I definitely have a lot to learn. I
am in a Windows environment....I hope this is the correct place to post -
as I am unsure where the problem exists.
Here's where I am at.
I have CVSNT installed on a Server 2003 box. Version is 2.5.04(Zen)Build
3236.
I am using WinSSHD for an ssl connection. I have port 22 open on the
firewall and have port forwarding to the default CVSNT port.
You're running an SSH daemon and forwarding the connection to port 2401?
It sounds like a *very* unusual configuration - you normally either have
the ssh server calling cvsnt directly or forward the external port
directly to cvsnt.
I know of no client that would handle the configuration you're trying
out of the box... but it may be possible to set something up.
Start by keeping it simple. Forget WinSSHD for now. Setup a basic SSPI
connection between the client and server using default configuration,
then add elements as required. If you need to encrypt tell the server
to require encryption, and that'll give you reasonable security.
It's not uncommon for people to just leave it at that and tunnel their
connections over VPNs rather than have them over the public internet.
Configuration of WinSSHD I can't help with... however basically you'd
have to make logins with the particular user allow the execution of the
cvs server command only (and set the paths/environment to allow that),
and make sure it's a pure binary connection (no cr/lf fiddling or
anything similar).
It's far easier to just use sserver or encrypted sspi though... we don't
generally recommend ssh on Windows as it's complex to setup and the
security historically hasn't been that great.
