Two things to try:

1. Reboot (not just logout/login). I don't know why, but for me at least, this was the final step I had to do in order to get Xcode's SCM (cvs in my case as well) to actually work. This has been true for all versions of Xcode that I've used. Set everything up, Xcode's SCM doesn't work. Reboot, and without changing anything, it works. </shrug>

2. Try *unchecking* the box that says use ssh instead of rsh. I've always had this box unchecked and it's worked fine for me.

Fwiw, I use public-private keypairs but without a passphrase (our repository is only accessible via VPN anyway). So it's possible that you might need something like SSH Keychain (?? I forget what it's called) to keep feeding your passphrase to Xcode when it asks. Although from your description, that's not the problem you're having.

I would like to use Xcode's SCM features but I keep getting an error popup a few seconds after I enable SCM using CVS and enter my passphrase with the following message:

SCM Error
Permission denied, please try again.

I get no errors to console.log or system.log. It gives me the option to leave SCM enabled or disable it. I If I leave it enabled I just get the same error popup later if I try to look at the files from the SCM tab (in Info). I set the CVS tool path to use cvs instead of ocvs and I set the checkbox to use ssh instead of rsh. I tried it with ocvs too and I still get this error. I'm using Xcode 2.0 on Tiger, by the way.

I have a remote repository on Sourceforge. Both CVS and SSH work great from the command line. I did the ssh-keygen thing so all I have to type at the command line is my passphrase. I confirmed that this working passphrase is the same one I used when I get the error in Xcode. I did the initial import and checkout from the command line just like the documentation said and with no errors.

I have tried several things already such as adding CVSROOT and CVS_RSH to my ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist and logging back in. I also tried setting the group of the checked out files and CVS directories to cvsusers but that didn't work either. The directory and file permissions look ok to me - read/write to the user and group and read-only to the world.

Although it's not the biggest deal to use the command line to check in and out, it would be nice to get it to work in Xcode. Any ideas?
