As someone may remember I had strange errors too with cvs ls....
Now I have  checked again and I have this to report:

If I issue the cvs ls command on a command prompt when located in
a sandbox where the CVSROOT is set to :sspi:server:/hw then this happens:

Listing modules on server

cvs [server aborted]: cannot stat directory D:/CVSTEMP/CVSLOCKS/module that
consists of many directories
# spread out over the entire source repository.
: Bad address

But when I change the CVSROOT in the same sandbox to :ntserver:server:/hw
then the response becomes:

Listing modules on server

AdminTools
CVSROOT

So it seems like the cvs ls command is doing strange things when the protocol is
sspi but works with ntserver.

Now in this situation I issue the cvs ls command on the WinCvs command window while
having the same directory active as above. Result is a hangup until I close the CVS
command that appears on the taskbar. At tghis instance the following is printed:

Listing modules on server

cvs [server aborted]: cannot stat directory D:/CVSTEMP/CVSLOCKS/module that consists of many directories
# spread out over the entire source repository.
: Bad address

Final test:
-------------------
On the command prompt outside any sandbox:

C:\3R>set CVSROOT=:ntserver:3rappl01:d:/cvs/pre

C:\3R>cvs ls
Listing modules on server

CVSROOT
MMRead
OffsetMgr
Sandvik
WMAssy
WMPreset
WMPreset32
WSMPreset

C:\3R>set CVSROOT=:sspi:3rappl01:d:/cvs/pre

C:\3R>cvs ls
Listing modules on server

cvs [server aborted]: cannot stat directory D:/CVSTEMP/CVSLOCKS/ a module that c
onsists of many directories
# spread out over the entire source repository.
: Bad address


C:\3R>

So what the heck is going on is also my question...
Seems like two distinct problems:
1) cvs ls does not work if the protocol is sspi
2) cvs ls does not work from within WinCvs

Hi there,

When I'm trying to use cvs ls I get the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Listing modules on server

cvs [server aborted]: cannot make directory D:/CVSRepository/lock/s -s
Komponente ETC-Kontrollstelle/EtcMetrics
EtcMetricsBuild -s Buildinfo -a ETC-Kontrollstelle: Invalid argument
cvs [server aborted]: cannot make directory D:/CVSRepository/lock/s -s
Komponente ETC-Kontrollstelle/EtcMetrics
cvs [server aborted]: cannot make directory D:/CVSRepository/lock/s -s
Komponente ETC-Kontrollstelle/EtcMetrics
EtcMetricsBuild -s Buildinfo -a ETC-Kontrollstelle: Invalid argument
cvs [ls aborted]: reading from server: error -1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've set the Lock-Dir in my CVSROOT/config file to:
----------------------------------
LockDir=D:/CVSRepository/lock
----------------------------------

I also use a big modules file, which contains the following lines:
------------------------------------
.....
EtcMetrics -s Komponente ETC-Kontrollstelle/EtcMetrics
EtcMetricsBuild -s Buildinfo -a ETC-Kontrollstelle/EtcMetrics
build/EtcMetrics_build.xml
.....
------------------------------------

The name of lock-directory, CVS "cannot make", seems to origin from my
modules-file.

Is this an error of CVSNT? My modules file works fine ....

Thanks

Johannes Kilian
