[vtkusers] urgent: update VTK

Tue Sep 13 09:42:46 EDT 2005

Hi Isabelle,

Were you able to enter a password when you tried 
to log in, or did this error message happen 
before you were prompted to do that?  Is the 
machine from which you are trying to connect to 
public.kitware.com behind a firewall?  (That 
could prevent you from being able to connect to 
the server here.)  I just tried downloading VTK 
5.0 from CVS, logging in as anonymous, and had no 
problems doing so (just to verify that the 
intructions on the VTK web site are still valid).
