SSH problems getting into SourceForge's CVS?

When I tried "cvs update" today, I got an error from ssh: """ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ The RSA1 host key for cvs.python.sourceforge.net has changed, and the key for the according IP address 66.35.250.209 is unknown. This could either mean that DNS SPOOFING is happening or the IP address for the host and its host key have changed at the same time. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!

I've tried both ssh -1 and ssh -2. Has this happened to anybody else? The SF.net Site Status Page shows nothing relevant. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Same thing happens to me when I use cvs.python.sf.net:/cvsroot/python but not when I use cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/python. I think the latter is the current approved way of connecting to the cvs repository (I've been using that form with Mailman for a while and also have no problems there). I'll attach a nice little cvs_chroot script that Greg Ward sent me a long time ago. I'm sure he won't mind. cd to your python directory and type: % cvs_chroot cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/python Then do a cvs up and all should be golden. -Barry

Yes, this is also what they mention on the CVS pages.

I had to type cvs_chroot :ext:<name>@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python where <name> is the sourceforge users name. Greg's script even works on windows, as it seems. Thomas

Mind updating the following pages? http://www.python.org/dev/devfaq.html http://www.python.org/dev/tools.html (I'd do it myself, but I think it'd be better for someone who actually knows what zie's doing to handle it. Fortunately, http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=5470 already has the correct info.) -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "I used to have a .sig but I found it impossible to please everyone..." --SFJ
