Yes indeed on my Manjaro 18.0.4 there is (was) an actual rsh command installed that is not a link to ssh. It must have been installed as part of some other package as there is no package installed named rsh. I manually replaced the /usr/bin/rsh binary by a link to /usr/bin/ssh.

If adding export CVS_RSH=ssh fixed it for you does that mean you have an actual "rsh" command installed that is not a symlink to "ssh"?

If so then I recommend uninstalling the old rsh.  It is insecure and should not be used anywhere on the Internet.  The 'r'-commands from the old Berkeley toolset were designed for a friendlier age. Removing rsh will have most package managers automatically configuring an rsh symlink alternative to point to ssh.  And then no special configuration for CVS_RSH is needed.

Thanks for the info, this confirmed that the problem was in my setup.
Turned out that doing "export CVS_RSH=ssh" before the checkout fixed the issue.

Kind regards,

Slawomir

This works for me:

$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:ineiev@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/web/isarmathlib co isarmathlib
cvs checkout: Updating isarmathlib
U isarmathlib/index.html
U isarmathlib/isabelle.css
cvs checkout: Updating isarmathlib/IsarMathLib
U isarmathlib/IsarMathLib/AbelianGroup_ZF.html
...


Note that there is no connection timeout.  Any chances that that was a temporary failure?

After a move to a new machine with Manjaro I cannot access the cvs web pages repositories as a project member.

$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:slawekk@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/web/isarmathlib co isarmathlib
connect to address 209.51.188.81: Connection timed out
Trying 2001:470:142::81...
cvs.savannah.nongnu.org: Network is unreachable

I have added my ssh key as required and membership access to svn repositories is working fine:

$ svn co svn+ssh://slawekk@svn.savannah.nongnu.org/isarmathlib
Enter passphrase for key '/home/slawekadmin/.ssh/id_rsa':
A    isarmathlib/tags
A    isarmathlib/tags/isarmathlib-1.6.4
(...)

Also, attempt to log in with ssh works as expected:

$ ssh -email is unavailable-
Enter passphrase for key '/home/slawekadmin/.ssh/id_rsa':
Linux vcs1.savannah.gnu.org 4.9.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u3 (2019-06-16) x86_64

Sorry, you are not allowed to execute that command.
Connection to cvs.savannah.nongnu.org closed.

Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to troubleshoot this?

Thanks and my apologies for submitting this previously to Chord Sequencer - Support by mistake
