21   Errata to "Using CVS (part 1)"
22   ------------------------------
23   Setting up CVS on a Public PC (with WinCVS/SSH)
# Line 63 | Line 78 | document you should be able to do a checkout as normal
78   this time without the need for a mapped drive - which is a
79   much neater way of doing things.

81 + Setting up CVS off campus/SSB (with WinCVS/SSH)
82 + -----------------------------------------------
83 + To do this you'll need two packages. Firstly, and most
84 + obviously WinCVS. The latest version of WinCVS (1.1b16) can
85 + be downloaded from the "WinCvs 1.1 *BETA* / Client + Local /
86 + Binaries" on the following page;
87 +
88 + http://www.wincvs.org/download.html
89 +
90 + Secondly you'll require SSH. I'm not sure where this package
91 + orginated, but there is a current version on raptor at;
92 +
93 + /usr/local/proj/co600_10/sshwin32/ssh-1.2.14-win32bin.zip
94 +
95 + Armed with those two files you're ready to go. To get
96 + started we need to get ssh installed, and a key setup with
97 + raptor.
98 +
99 + Installing ssh is easy. Simply extract the contents of the
100 + zip file in to your windows\system32 directory (on
101 + winnt/win2k - windows\system on win9x). This will put the
102 + DLL's in place and the binary ssh files.
103 +
104 + Next, setting up a key. This requires a few straightforward
105 + steps.
106 +
107 + - setup a directory to be considered your "home folder" and
108 +   then ensure that the environment variable HOME is pointed
109 +   at this directory. Then make a directory called .ssh
110 +   within this.
111 +
112 + - telnet into raptor and run this command;
113 +     ssh-keygen -f ssh-newkey -q -P '' -C '<user> on NT'"
114 +  
115 +   make sure you change <user> for your userid, and that you
116 +   notice the difference between the single quote ' and the
117 +   double quotes ".
118 +
119 + - using ftp (or by any other means) copy the files named
120 +   ssh-newkey and ssh-newkey.pub to the .ssh folder you made
121 +   on your machine. Now rename them to identity and
122 +   identity.pub respectively.
123 +
124 + - Finally we need to get the contents of the identity.pub
125 +   file above into the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on
126 +   raptor. The easiest way to do this is to type the
127 +   following;
128 +     cat ssh-newkey.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
129 +    
130 +   This assumes you didn't delete the ssh-newkey files, and
131 +   that you are in your home folder. Finally, you can delete
132 +   the ssh-newkey and ssh-newkey.pub files from raptor.
133 +
134 + Now, to test this setup you should try the following from a
135 + command prompt;
136 +
137 + ssh -l <userid> raptor.ukc.ac.uk
138 +
139 + If everything has completed successfully you should now be
140 + looking at a raptor prompt. If not... then work out why not!
141 +
142 + Right, now on to WinCVS. This is now a doddle. In the
143 + preferences set the CVSROOT to;
144 +
145 + :ext:<user>@raptor.ukc.ac.uk:/usr/local/proj/co600_10/cvs
146 +
147 + Set Authentication to SSH server, and set the RSA identity
148 + to your identity file (not the .pub one). Finally set the
149 + browser directory to a suitable location and try checking
150 + something out. If all has worked an SSH window should pop up
151 + at the bottom of the screen and the files should appear.
152 +
153 + As a final note, turning TCP/IP compression on may make it
154 + quicker over a modem.

156   How CVS handles binary files
157   ----------------------------
158   Basically CVS can't do version management of binary files,
