Yo can perfectly well name a repository anything you like, but for simplicity it is recommended to use /<identifier>. Since <identifier> does not need any connection whatever to the actual physical file system path of the repository you are completely free to name it anything you like. I have a test repository which resides at F:\CVSREPOS\Bosse and I have defined *two* repositories in CVSNT which both point to this single location but are named /Bosse and /Korvkiosk respectively. This works perfectly well, I can check out code from either one and work with it as I like. One notice: *DON'T* put an ending / in the name of a repository, this will break a number of clients and make things difficult. PROTOCOLS ---------- Please be aware that when you specify :local: then you are telling your *client* program to go directly to the repository files and dig into them, thereby completely bypassing the CVSNT server! And since the naming scheme mentioned above is a configuration of the server itself, you cannot use these names for the local access. So you need to specify a physical path. Concerning :pserver: access, it is more complex than :sspi: I think that you should start out using :sspi: on the remote client. When you got that working (first test it from the server PC itself) then you can add the pserver users with the cvs passwd command (look up the syntax for this in the helpfile) and set their cvs passwords. If the cvs users do not exist as users on the server machine then you must also alias these users to an existing account using the cvs passwd command. Only after all of this groundwork has been done are you going to be able to use the :pserver: protocol to connect. Notice the correct syntax for this: :pserver:user at server:/repositoryname You have to specify the user and the user must exist as a login in the passwd file and be aliased to an existing user if it is not a valid user account on the server. /bo -----Original Message----- From: Sander van der Wal [mailto:svdwal at mBrainSoftware.com] Sent: den 27 maj 2005 16:03 To: Bo Berglund Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Re: Cannot access CVSNT repository at all Ok, thanks, I appreciate it you taking the time. Doing the flash demo I already have a question: the demo mentions it is not a good idea to publis the full parthname. My repository is at e:\CVS\Reposititory. it's unix/external/whatever name us then /CVS/Repository. The demo recommends calling it /Repository? Why is this? Such info is never in the manual. Then locally I can now check-in, using the :local: protocol. But from the client laptop using the :pserver: protocol, I cannot. And I get this error cvs.exe [import aborted]: Error reading from server relais: -1: Unknown error I don't understand what's wrong here. And the problem is that the helptexts and manuals don't say what's wrong here, or how I can check the setup.

I am just trying to checkin a file that's on e:\. I am now using ComponentSoftware RCS, but I want to move to CVS because of Eclipse. How do I find out whether the setup is working or not? I am not interested in reading about working with CVS stuff as a programmer, I want to know the things that the manual says I should ask my system administrator or the cvs administrator. That's pointless in my case, I am sitting at home with two pc's in some trivial windows network, with a win2k pc and a winxp laptop. Docs for setting up such a system are simply not there, or they talk about unix. But I got CVSNT because it runs on win2k. and the compiled heptext of cvsnt also talks in unix terms. what's the point of cvsnt then. Sorry, but this lack of documentation is very annoying. -- Sander van der Wal www.mBrainSoftware.com _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook
