Hi all!

I'm trying to connect to zope's cvs server. I am doing this
with Putty 0.52.

Testing the SSH tunnel (it's a tunnel, isn't it?) by hand
doesn't work as expected.

What I've done so far:

    1. generated private/public SSH2 RSA key pair using
       puttygen

    2. posted the public key to the CVS server. People
       at zope corp. said that they have received the key
       and that I should now be able to connect.

    3. Pageant is running on my system with the key loaded.

    4. When connecting to the server by:

          plink gregweb@cvs.zope.org echo "dummy text"

       I get a password prompt:

          gregweb@cvs.zope.org's password:

       This should not be as I and zope people understand.

    5. Env. vars set (for wincvs as I understand):

       HOME=e:\user\greg\data\zope3-dev
       CVS_SSH=d:\program files\putty\plink.exe

       PATH has d:\program files\putty in there.

I'm stuck, so help is apreciated. Thanks.

Greg
