cvs over ssh problem

[lester]

Hi
after trying with no success to access a cvs repository (cvs.sourceforge.net) via ssh (:ext:) I created a test repository on my own machine and tried to access it.
The result is the same, cvs hangs for a while then quits saying "connection refused".

tcpdump shows that cvs sends out requests but they remain unanswered.

Things work with :pserver:

Here is what happens when trying to access a remote repository;

09:39:12.838611 IP fax.org.1023 > cvs.sourceforge.net.shell: S 1938029198:1938029198(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 424626 0,nop,wscale 2>
09:39:15.838211 IP fax.org.1023 > cvs.sourceforge.net.shell: S 1938029198:1938029198(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 427627 0,nop,wscale 2>
09:39:21.837293 IP fax.org.1023 > cvs.sourceforge.net.shell: S 1938029198:1938029198(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 433627 0,nop,wscale 2>
09:39:33.835468 IP fax.org.1023 > cvs.sourceforge.net.shell: S 1938029198:1938029198(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 445627 0,nop,wscale 2>
09:39:57.831823 IP fax.org.1023 > cvs.sourceforge.net.shell: S 1938029198:1938029198(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 469627 0,nop,wscale 2>


as you can see the cvs client sends out connection requests but sourceforge is not responding at all, the same happens with a local repository.

Any ideas?

Uh, this really sounds like a firewall problem. Turn on firewall logging and check out /var/log/messages.
