[cvsnt] Re: remote logins returning "no such repository"

Fri Jul 29 13:51:50 BST 2005

The xinetd.d directory has the cvs setup file cvspserver which contains:

service cvspserver
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        group           = cafdev
        log_type        = FILE /var/log/cvspserver
        env             = HOME=/tmp
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args     = --allow-root=/usr/local/cvs pserver
#       log_on_success  += DURATION USERID
#       log_on_failure  += USERID
}

We were missing the server_args line and had env set incorrectly.  We 
don't have a /etc/cvsnt folder on our machine.  We're still having 
problems getting LINUX to pass the user password information from the 
Windows domain to CVSNT (via Samba/PAM) to authenticate users.  Right now 
we have to set a local password for each user.  (I gave them the support 
information but they are being stubborn about paying for support...)

Hmm... I don't run xinetd.. what was it doing?

Usually no such repository means the repository isn't listed in 
/etc/cvsnt/PServer (or is spelt wrong).  There is the case where the 
system can't actually read it but that's rare in Unix (since by default 
you can usually at least check for the existance of directories, and 
most of the time even list them).
