RE : 1.0.0 : CVS Checkout via SSH = error : no such repository

["Flo" <florent dot lothon at free dot fr>]

I remotly connect to the server via SSH with putty

I tried to connect with an explicit CVSROOT : :ext:Flo@salon:/opt/cvs 

But :
cvs checkout -P CVSROOT (in directory D:\)
cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `WARNING - POTENTIAL

When i connected via putty to my server, i succesfully execute ls
/opt/cvs
I tried the -nt option and i got this :
cvs -nt checkout -P CVSROOT


***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

  -> Tracelevel set to 1.  PID is 3296
  -> Session ID is ce04028139c0000
  -> main loop with CVSROOT=:ext:sessioncvs:/opt/cvs
  -> Requesting server cvsrc (read-cvsrc2)
cvs [server aborted]: /opt/cvs: no such repository
Not very helpfull :)

I also tried connecting via :ext:  from the same machine that
houses the repository and i get the same error : cvs [server aborted]:
/opt/cvs: no such repository

I expect i have undertood your questions.

Given your CVSROOT setting, I assume the remote user will be the same as
the local one, but just in case, try setting the user explicitly...

Try running "ssh sessioncvs ls /opt/cvs".  Also, try giving the "-nt"
flags to cvs when attempting a checkout -- this will provide a
reasonably
detailed trace of what it's trying to do and what fails.  Basically, all
cvs over ssh does is execute "cvs server"  remotely and communicate to
that process via ssh.  Just to make sure you're running the same cvs
version, could you try connecting via :ext:  from the same machine that
houses the repository?
