Trouble with CVS access

[Kjurtyl]

For some reason or another, I have yet again lost access to the CVS server. The problem as it stands today happens every time I send a regular cvs command such as cvs update. The sourceforge server apparently recognizes my username but when I am prompted for a password, the password I enter is always viewed as incorrect (even though the same pword worked only 2 days ago.)

At first I thought it was due to server downtime, but I can access the cvs anonymously, just not with my own account.

Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?

Hmm. I would suggest downloading a fresh copy of the code using the check-out command ("co"). In doing this make sure you're not just overwriting the old stuff, but putting the new stuff in an entirely different directory.

Mark.

Well, I've checkout a new copy of Hooptie, without using the CVSROOT variable, and it works. I can even update that way too. But somehow, when I set the CVSROOT variable to the exact same path (including username and such) it refuses to acknowledge my password. It returns: "Permission denied, please try again." instead.

Very odd, but I guess I'll just have to use the old-fashioned way from now on.
