[PLUG] CVS Server Question

Rich, Ken,

I seem to be making some progress (I think).  I was missing file:
/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver :
service cvspserver
{
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        group           = cvsusers
        env             = HOME=/shares/cvs-repository 
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args     = -f --allow-root=/shares/cvs-repository
        disable         = no
}

Now the problem has changed to:

cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from frodo: Usage: cvs
[cvs-opti
ons] command [command-options-and-arguments]

Hopefully I have not headed up a dead end!

Hi Bill,

The "connection refused" error doesn't sound like a password problem. 
That's an error you typically get if you try to connect to a port where
there's not a service running. Which is probably why Alan asked about a
firewall.

One thing to check would be whether the CVS server is even accepting
connections. It may not be running or may not be configured properly. 
You could try connecting to it from a shell on the server itself.

Are you running it from inetd or xinetd? If so, make sure that process is
actually running and listening on the appropriate port.


Rich
