I've just installed cvsnt 2.0.51d on a: SunOS rmnpos03 5.8 Generic_114018-01
sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R machine as a cvs replacement.

I've installed binaries found on www.cvsnt.com <www.cvsnt.com>  and
libraries for gcc support (3.3.8) both binaries installed with pkgadd.

After a cvs login, any other command (ie cvs ls or cvs checkout) fails whit
the message:
cvs server: connect to 127.0.0.1(::ffff:127.0.0.1):2402 failed: Unknown name
translation error

I've then read the cvsnt manual and modified the inetd.conf file changing
the old line:
	cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs
--allow-root=<My_First_CVSROOT> --allow-root=<My_Second_CVSROOT> pserver
With this one:
	cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f
--allow-root=<My_First_CVSROOT> --allow-root=<My_Second_CVSROOT> authserver

But whit no result...

I don't even known what "Unknown name translation error" means..
I've read the netdb.h include file and the EAI_* doc but found nothing.

By the way, using cvsnt as client (installing the server on my pc running
windows xp) works fine.

Any suggestion?
