Debian potato GNU Emacs 20.7.2 SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5.
I recently installed Debian on my laptop and I'm very happy with it. Unfortunately, I cannot use my favorite editor to check the cvs status of files that are accessible only through a ssh connection. My friend has the same laptop with RedHat, and when he uses VC or PCL-CVS to examine the status of the files, Emacs simple ask him its password on the other machine... when mine fails with the message Message: cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) Message: Parser Error: 'You have no controlling tty. Cannot read passphrase.' I took a lot of time trying to understand better the default configuration of ssh (which is more in Debian that it is in RedHat ... at least is seems so) but I couldn't figure why it fails. In fact, it may or may not be related to ssh.
