I took a wild guess (after downloading gCVS and making it and still
not finding the needed file) and went into the cvsnt-2.0.8/cvsgui and did a
make there directly--that produced the library file cvsgui.a for me, then I
backed out to cvsnt-2.0.8/ and ran make again and it worked without error.

That seems to have done the trick. I'd like to put together a bare-bones
"Linux install how-to" since it's been mentioned a couple of times lately
(and I could have used it...) but I lack the knowledge on some of the
specifics. Here are some questions:
--When I commit in Linux, the committed file has my personal name and
primary group (gstarret / gstarret) not the uname / group of the folder like
in WinNT, like "cvs / cvs". Do I need to use some sort of postcommit script
to get it to change to CVS / CVS??
--I'm assuming the information in my original represented a minor bug in the
MAKE script. To that end, what am I missing from a step-by-step below?
--Any difference from "old" CVS to watch out for?
CVSNT on Linux installation how-to
=============
Written from installation based on RedHat 8.
--Download the source. Extract.
--Make sure you uninstall any other CVS you may have installed, e.g.
assuming it was installed from an RPM:
rpm -e cvs
--in cvsnt-x.y.z run:
./configure
make
make install
--> NOTE: In CVSNT 2.0.8 and some earlier versions require that after you
run ./configure you do the following to make the cvsgui libraries, then go
on to make the whole cvsnt and install it normally:
cd cvsgui
make
cd ..
--Copy /etc/cvsnt/PServer.example to /etc/cvsnt/PServer and customize it
In Repository section, uncomment and revise to your actual path
where you want to store the repository.
--Check /etc/xinetd.d/cvs for correctness. Note especially the "server" and
"server_args". Wrong information here will result in "connection actively
refused" when trying to authenticate.
service cvspserver
{
disable socket_type wait user group log_type env server server_args }
--Test ... {do a cvs version, etc. etc.}
Did I miss anything? Setting up initial accounts, etc.? This wasn't a
fresh install for me (I had a previous attempt at cvsnt install and already
had cvs running), so it is likely missing some steps.
