==========

As someone on our [nbuser@ list] complained about the CVS Wizard, that it is not
very intuitive. I'm firing this bug.
There has to be at least small hint for using
EXTERNAL Connection Method.
There is missing very important fact:
       for 'ssh'. SSH connection has to be established as its idea is:
       without asking for a password.
       It means: that on the client side, there must be generated public key
                 and given to the server side, so the server can authentize
                 client without asking for a password.

The best will be if in the Cvs Wizard could be implemented a radio button:
               * ssh with public key (is correctly configured)
               * pasword for ssh (not preperly configured)

Probably this option is almoust impossible to implement 'cause "ssh" isn't able
to read password from input stream:-(


I don't have any good idea for the hint:-(
Comment 1 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-03-30 12:27:43 UTC
Changing priority due to lower importance than expected during bug's creation.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2001-05-11 10:41:00 UTC
Changed to an enhancement, since it's more like an enhancement than a bug.
Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2001-05-21 14:07:13 UTC
Fixed by adding more information about SSH requirements.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
