[NTLUG:Discuss] Updating (committing) to SourceForge

[Bruce DeGrasse]

I have been unable to update a sourceforge project and need help.  This has 
taken toooooo much of my time.  The project is a Genealogy program called 
gramps (which I recommend).  I have generated two report generators for it 
and would like to update the CVS repository for it.  I have been cleared as 
"gramps developer" and the ssh login seems to work.  Can anyone help me debug 
my problem, I have tried this as root and as normal user.

I am running Mandrake 9.0 and am sitting behind a Linksys router.  From the 
sourceforge documentation this is a firewall problem but the solution (config 
file with UsePrivilegedPort no) does not seem to solve my problem.

My procedure is as follows:

Genrerate ~/.ssh/config  file
edit in UsePrivilegedPort no per sourceforge docs

Example command sequence (hangs on commit as well):
cd ~/bruce/Genealogy/gramps
export CVS_RSH=ssh
ssh -l username shell.sourceforge.net
<shell>cvs -d:ext:username at cvsgramps.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/gramps diff
****hang****

Much TIA
Bruce
