List subscription/CVS

Hi,

I have one question and one plea for help:

Question: 
How long does it generally take to confirm a subscription to
Fedora-trans and Fedora-trans-DE lists? I subscribed to both
two or three days ago but didn't get an answer yet.

Problem:
I fee a bit sheepish about this but since I have some spare
time and would like to start contributing I ask
nevertheless:

I can't get CVS check out to work. I checked every resource
I could lay my hands on but to no avail. I'm sure the
solution is right in front of my nose but I'm stuck.
Here's what I did so far:

I created a Fedora project account and during this uploaded
my id_dsa.pub file. "All done" was the answer of
the project server. Sounded good to me. 

Then I set my CVSROOT and CVS_RSH env vars to the following:


CVSROOT=:ext:<my fedora project login>cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs 

CVS_RSH to "ssh" 

"cvs co docs" gave "Permission denied
(publickey,keyboard-interactive).". Well ... Google
coughed up myriads of hits but nothing apparently helpful.

Some investigations later I ended up trying to be smart and
added myself to the group "cvsdocs" in my
project account with the result that I now have an entry in
my account stating "cvsdocs [...] unapproved".
I'm not to sure if this is correct anyway and there's
still no luck with "cvs co docs".

I have not the slightest idea what I'm doing wrong or
missing. I'm not that slow off the mark normally but this
is certainly a "Wood and tree" problem. Could
someone please have pity on me and cut some trees?! 

Thanks for your patience.
Tom

Hi, 

I'm having the same problem as well. My status on
'cvsdocs' is also 
'unapproved', so there's no way for me to checkout
documentation from CVS.

OMG, sorry!  I didn't realize that the admin system wasn't
letting us
know that the request queue is growing.

You are both approved, thanks, the detail you needed was to
do a self-
introduction here, which you did.

Does anyone who 'suren' (Suren Karapetyan) is?  Did I miss
a self-
introduction?  This person is also in the approval queue.

I only know about fedora-trans-list, but I thought it was
open-
subscription.  If it is not, you can email
fedora-trans-list-admin and
ask for a status.

It should work now.  If you run into any problems, either
email back
here or join us on #fedora-docs (irc.freenode.net) or
#fedora-websites,
both have people who can help with administration and CVS
issues.

Karsten,

Thanks a lot for checking and approving the account.
Unfortunately I still can't check out. It let's me enter
my passphrase though - which is an improvement - but I have
to do this three times and get the same access denied error
like before ("Permission denied
(publickey,keyboard-interactive)."). 

Something seems to be wrong with the id_dsa.pub stuff. I'm
quite sure that I enter the correct passphrase (I do not
invent new passwords/passphrases every day but have a pool
of strong passwords which I use for some time before
replacing them).

Well, I'll ask somebody directly at #fedora-docs later this
evening (MEST).

Regards
Tom
