Hello Group, I recently came across the CVSNT project and I think it's a terrific contribution to the programming community! I am trying to set it up on my box for personal use and currently, I am facing some of the same problems mentioned earlier (below) by another cvsnt user. The error I am getting is: cvs [version aborted]: Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree on an authentication scheme (got ''), when I try the command: cvs -d :sspi:anorith:/CGOF version (where anorith is my computer name and CGOF is a repository set up using the cvsnt gui. I am running Windows XP Pro. ). I have switched off Norton AV (though I think there might a corporate hardware firewall running - beyond my control :( ). When I try cvsservice -test, this is what I get: CVS 2.0.34 (Mar 3 2004) starting in test mode. TEMP/TMP currently set to D:\Program Files\cvsnt\Temp Initialising socket...ok Impersonation is enabled Starting auth server on port 2401/tcp... Socket Failed (Handle=ffffffff Family=23,Socktype=1,Protocol=6): An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. (not fatal) Socket Failed (Handle=00000768 Family=2,Socktype=1,Protocol=6): Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. (not fatal) Error: All socket binds failed. If I run the same command after stopping the service from the cvsnt gui, one of the services starts up correctly as follows: CVS 2.0.34 (Mar 3 2004) starting in test mode. TEMP/TMP currently set to D:\Program Files\cvsnt\Temp Initialising socket...ok Impersonation is enabled Starting auth server on port 2401/tcp... Socket Failed (Handle=ffffffff Family=23,Socktype=1,Protocol=6): An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. (not fatal) Registering service SPN... failed (Error 8344) CVS initialised successfully I am very sure no other app is using the ports 2401 and 2402 . I did a "netstat -a" to check this. (when I shutdown the cvsnt gui and do netstat, the port doesn't get listed.. so it has be to be only cvsnt using those ports). any ideas why I am getting this error. I think, because of this error, I am not able to set up the user accounts correctly and consequently use it from other cvs gui clients like SmartCVS. :( Your help is really appreciated. Thank you, Regards, Murali --------------------------------------------------- Markus Kuehni wrote: > I'm using a personal firewall (Tiny PF v5.5).

This is usually the result of interference by firewalls/AV but it's possible also that there's another app that's grabbed the port and doesn't like the traffic. Stopping the service and running cvsservice -test can tell you whether the server is starting and getting connections. > E:\workspace>cvs -d :ssh:localhost:/v2_prj login > Logging in to :ssh:Markus at localhost:22:/v2_prj > CVS password: ****** > FATAL ERROR: Network error: Connection refused > cvs login: Couldn't connect to remote server - plink error > cvs [login aborted]: Connection to server failed This can't be expected to work unless you're also running an SSH server.
