Hi Tony; I am unable to use PSERVER Authentication no matter what I try. I am unable to use "ntserver" because the company we need to link up with Via our VPN refuses to allow our domains to access each other. I may have to start looking at the SSH Authentication. I downloaded the document "A Practical Guide to WinCVS and SSH by Patrick Reagan", And I have started reading that info. I cannot use 'cvs passwd' at the server either. It complains that I cannot add users when I don't have administrative privileges. I followed a tip to download an older zip file of cvs for nt and get the pwgen.exe to generate encrypted files. I don't know if this is correct since I am never able to get the PSERVER authentication to function correctly. Like another couple of people that I see posting I have been trying everything suggested by Tony. I am running Windows NT 4.0 SP6a on the Server, and when I try to execute "cvsservice -test" in the sandbox on the server I get a different error than has been posted by Stephen Townsend. I had been running Trend-Micro Server Protect on the server and I uninstalled This after reading Tony's suggestions to Stephen, but no change. (Here is the listing) C:\programs\cvsnt>cd sandbox C:\programs\cvsnt\sandbox>cvsservice -test CVS 1.11.1.3 (Build 57) (Mar 8 2002) starting in test mode. Repository prefix set to D:/cvsrepo Adding repository D:/cvsrepo/cvs Adding repository D:/cvsrepo/Gladiator Adding repository D:/cvsrepo/testrepo TEMP/TMP currently set to D:\cvstempdir Initialising socket...ok Impersonation is enabled Starting auth server on port 2401/tcp... Socket Failed (Handle=00000074 Family=2,Socktype=1,Protocol=6): (not fatal) Error: All socket binds failed. ******* I have a repository setup as Bo suggested on my dedicated D:\ drive on the server and named D:\cvsrepo It has three repositories under this named \cvs \gladiator and \testrepo D:\cvsrepo\cvs D:\cvsrepo\gladiator D:\cvsrepo\testrepo I am unclear what exactly the CVSROOT system environment setting should be in this case CVSROOT=/cvsrepo/cvs Or CVSROOT=/cvsrepo Or CVSROOT=:pserver://cvsrepo/cvs Or CVSROOT=:local:/cvsrepo Or CVSROOT=:local:D:/CVSREPO/CVS or Something else. Confusing! ***************************** With both the Beta 6 and Beta 7 WinCVS clients I get the following error trying to connect to the server. I am running WinCVS 1.3.6.1 (Local Build 1) When I try to login using the password I have setup in the .passwd (with a dot) file in the HOME directory on the server c:/ and In the "passwd" file (no dot preceeding it) in each of the repositories cvsroot directories, I get the following error; //cvs-svr1/cvsrepo/cvs: no such repository *****CVS exited normally with code 1***** ***** I checked the registry and I have no value set for BindAddress. Is this required or not? The following Registry key doesn't exist on the server. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CVS\Pserver\ BindAddress String Address of interface to bind to, on multi-homed hosts. Defaults to binding to all interfaces. ***************************************************** I, like another individual that posted, am a NT Admin that is having to delve through tons of your information to try to discern what Applies to the Windows NT 4.0 Server install of CVS for NT in a multitude of installation documents. **************************************************** Any help for us folks trying to understand how to make this software work would be appreciated.
