Here is the output when trying to use the :ext: method: C:\Prototypes>"c:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -d ":ext:<user>@<server>:/nfs/src/cvsroot" co dotnet ' from cvs server warning: unrecognized response `'ssh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, ' from cvs server warning: unrecognized response `operable program or batch file. cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) This works in tortoisecvs: In C:\CastlePrototypes: "C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "-q" "checkout" "-P" "dotnet" CVSROOT=:ext:<user>@<server>:/nfs/src/cvsroot The cvs.exe in tortoise cvs is: C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS>cvs.exe --version Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.02 (Servalan) Build 2064 (client/server) -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of McCullough, Ryan Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 2:52 PM To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Re: Cvsroot on network share This is a multi-part message in MIME format. s both ways but it is still looking for a local cvs server: C:\Prototypes>"c:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -N -d ":local:\\sapphire\nfs\src\cvsroot" co dotnet cvs.exe checkout: connect to 127.0.0.1(127.0.0.1):2402 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: Couldn't connect to lock server Btw, cvsroot is just the root of the cvs repository. Under it is a CVSROOT folder containing the admin files and then all of the other directories holding the source. Ok, if you do not wish to help further with the :local: method (which if its not supported why is it available??) then how about the :ext: method. How come the :ext: method from the command line fails but works with a gui client like tortoisecvs? -Ryan -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Bo Berglund Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 2:26 PM To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Re: Cvsroot on network share On Wed, 21 Sep 2005 13:07:59 -0600, "McCullough, Ryan" <rmccullough at rightnow.com> wrote: >The way this was done previously on linux was pointing your cvs root at >the location on the mounted nfs (ie /net/source/cvsroot).

If you do not use a proper server then the use of anything else but :local: as protocol will fail. All other settings assume a connection to a *server* who will evaluate the credentials in the specified way. In your case :local:\\sambaserver\net\source\cvsroot might work or you might be forced to tip the slashes: :local://sambaserver/net/source/cvsroot I never ever use this access method due to its built-in deficiences so I cannot discuss it further... I also wonder about the share folder name "cvsroot", looks strange to me because CVSROOT is a reserved word in CVS designating the special folder holding the administrative files. This folder should never ever be accessed by anyone else but the cvs admin. All modules should be outside this special folder. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden) _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
