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 /Bo -----Original Message----- From: Jo.Kilian at gmx.de [mailto:Jo.Kilian at gmx.de] Sent: den 11 september 2002 16:20 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Bug in "cvs ls"? 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 ....
