I have installed CVSTNT V2.0.41 on a Fedora Core 1 Linux distribution and have some client using WinCVS V1.3.17.1 on XP Professional. Locally (on the Linux box) I can access the repository correcly. However, I cannot seem to get WinCVS to connect properly using pserver (it was connecting well with the Linux distribution before I installed CVSNT). When attempting to login from WinCVS, I get an error message that the repository '/xxx/yyy' does not exist (but it is actually acessible localy). The log file (/var/log/cvspserver) does not show any problem. In fact it says that a cvspserver is started from the proper client IP address. I have verified the cvs root definition and it matches the '/xxx/yyy' exactly. I am under the beleif I have not configured 'PServer' properly. Here is what the file looks like: =========================================================================== # # Repository definitions (0..n) # Repository0=/home/cvsrep #Repository1=/usr/local/cvs-other # # Repository prefix # #RepositoryPrefix=/home #RepositoryPrefix=/usr # # Encryption 0=Don't force encryption, # 1=Request authentication, # 2=Request encryption, # 3=Require authentication, # 4=Require encryption # EncryptionLevel=0 # # Compression 0=Don't force compression # 1=Request compression # 2=Require compression # CompressionLevel=0 # # CertificateFile PEM certificate for use with sserver # PrivateKeyFile PEM certificate for use with sserver # #CertificateFile=/etc/ssh/cvsnt.pem #PrivateKeyFile=/etc/ssh/cvsnt.pem # # NoReverseDns Disable Reverse lookups by the server to help broken # DNS setups. # This causes LockServer to report bare IP addresses. # It is recommended that the DNS is fixed rather thani # using this option. # #NoReverseDns=0 # # LockServer Default lock server location. Can be overridden by # LockServer directive in individual repositories. # LockServer=localhost:2402 # # Unix comptable CVS # FakeUnixCvs=1 ==================================================================================== I have tried with and without lunching the cvslockd deamon. I have also tried to configure the user using 'cvs passwd ...' but it seems that I am not capable since I am not the administrator (though I am 'root' on Linux). Can you provide a hint....
