I recently upgraded our CVSNT server from 2.0.7 to 2.0.51d and now I've stumbled over something odd. Whenever I try to use rtag from a client machine I get: cvs [rtag aborted]: Error communicating with lock server (send) What's this? I thought only the server itself would try to contact the lockserver (and if it was the server that emitted this message it would have said "cvs server" at the beginning, wouldn't it?). On the server the configuration is set to only listen locally and the binding is consequently for localhost:2402 (i.e. the installation defaults). CVSROOT/config contains "LockServer=localhost:2402". AFAICT all other commands work just fine. It's only rtag that spits out this error... Unfortunately I do not have direct access to the server machine so if necessary I would first have to ask our admin to make any changes and he's rather stressed already today. Thus I'd like to understand as much as possible about this issue beforehands. Does the client end of rtag really try to talk to the lockserver directly? Would I have to uncheck the "listen locally" option or somehow edit CVSROOT/config to make it work again? What would be possible implications? Oh yes, connection is via :sspi: in a closed LAN environment. CVSNT is running on the domain/AD server, which is a W2K Server (don't know about SP, but IIRC it's not SP4 yet). Client machines are W2K Pro SP4 running CVSNT 2.0.51d. Cheers, -- Oliver ---- ------------------ JID: ogiesen at jabber.org ICQ: 18777742 (http://wwp.icq.com/18777742)
