Hello everyone,
I've installed cvsnt on a Windows 2000 server. One machine connected
to it on my LAN is a Windows 2000 Pro workstation and on it I've
installed cvs client. There is no domain, or active directory, on the
server; the local network is simply a workgroup. I'm connecting from the
W2K Pro workstation using pserver. (Say my name is myname and the name
of the server computer is hostname.) I've set up my CVSROOT environment
variable on the workstation to be :pserver:myname at hostname:e:\\CVSROOT.
This works fine.
Now I have a second workstation on the LAN, this one running SuSE
Linux 8.1. On it I set my CVSROOT environment variable to be
:pserver:myname at hostname//e/CVSROOT. When I enter cvs login, I see the
line: logging in to :pserver:myname at hostname:2401//e/CVSROOT., and I am
prompted for a password, which I enter. The screen then shows: Unknown
host hostname., and terminates. (I have successfully accessed the W2K
server from the Linux workstation, using the name hostname, with
smbclient and smbmount)
Obviously I'm not specifying the host name correctly on the Linux
machine. Perhaps someone can help me.
Thanks to all.
Norm
