Fortunately setting up SGD is quite easy. If you want you can try
logging in with accessing
   https://login.opencsw.org
(http is redirected). As it is not an official certificate you must
accept the root cert and add it to your keystore once.

As there needs to be a password set I only opened this for Rupert
for now, if anyone else is interested please mail to buildfarm at .


Best regards
