Hi. Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1910 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1910 (client/server) Server OS: Windows 2000 Professional SP4 All anti virus related services are disabled (I've got a task list to prove it; previous CVSNT was running for years). No firewall / proxy / filtering either. I've recently updated CVSNT on the server and clients from 2.0.58d (if I remember it correctly) to 2.5.01 without any problems. However, "cvs update" now fails locally on the server, where it used to work just fine. The only other software change was Windows Update. I got two new error messages. [in sandbox] cvs -z0 -t -t update 14:46:02: -> Tracelevel set to 2. PID is 244 14:46:02: -> Session ID is f442494e0a1c23 14:46:02: -> Session time is Tue Mar 29 12:46:02 2005 14:46:02: -> main loop with CVSROOT=:sspi:cid-dev:/cvsroot 14:46:02: -> Server codepage is CP1252 14:46:02: -> Client codepage is CP1252 14:46:02: -> Server version is CVSNT 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1910 14:46:02: -> Client version is CVSNT 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1910 14:46:03: -> Requesting server cvsignore 14:46:03: -> Requesting server cvswrappers 14:46:03: -> Requesting server cvsrc (read-cvsrc2) 14:46:03: -> Sending file 'citk_Bla.h' to server ? SomeFile.dsw cvs [server aborted]: protocol error: directory 'd:/cvsroot/module/blasdk' not within root 'd:/cvsroot' cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: error -1 First error: directory x not within root y I've tried different aliases for that cvsroot: d:\cvsroot, d:/cvsroot, /cvsroot, /d//cvsroot. Doesn't seem to make a difference and all of them work on the clients. I've removed the folder "InputDevices" in the server's sandbox and cvs update -d correctly recreates the folder without problems. Subsequent updates continue to work. Strange. There are a couple of folders with this behaviour. Second error: reading from server: error -1 Also: writing to server socket: error -1 These error also occur without any "protocol errors", so I don't know if they're related. Strangely though, solving all "directory not within root" errors, I got rid of these socket errors too? I've searched the archive (using google's site:cvsnt.org) for this problem but found no previous references. Is it just me or is there something strange going on here? Should I update CVSNT again?
