Comment 6 for bug 199440

I don't know what bug #183705 is, but here it gives me a "Forbidden" message. It is possible that it was marked as a security issue, which means that most of us have never seen the bug, thus why it is probably not responded to.

In general, we can't pass a password to an ssh subprocess (because of openssh security restrictions), so you have to either use ssh keys, or use the 'paramiko' ssh implementation if you want bzr to remember your password. (I would certainly recommend ssh keys as an appropriate way, rather than having a plaintext password stored anywhere on your disk.)
