Yes it was trying to authenticate with the public keys.I configured CVS on this server and I was using Wincvs as client with SSH protocol to connect to this server.First I was using ssh without key based access later on i tried with key based access. Right now I am not in the office but tomorrow I will do what is required means you specified some commands and few things to check .I will do this first thing in the morning. Thanks for the efforts. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover
