Is the server binary the same one that the client is using (check inetd.conf)? Try a local test: Type: $ cvs -t pserver Followed by: BEGIN AUTH REQUEST /webtest oracle A END AUTH REQUEST On my box it looks something like: tmh at sisko:~/cvsnt/protocols$ cvs -t pserver -> Tracelevel set to 1. PID is 2626 -> Session ID is a42404cd495aa2f BEGIN AUTH REQUEST S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/server_protocol S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/ext_protocol S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/gserver_protocol S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/sspi_protocol S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/sserver_protocol S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/pserver_protocol /webtest oracle A END AUTH REQUEST error 0 /webtest: no such repository I HATE YOU error (obviously as I have no /webtest it throws me off) The important bit is that it shows it's correctly searching through the protocols and stopping at pserver.
