This was my first thought too. But today I tried again, with the full CVSROOT after the -d switch and it worked. On the web page, there are two possible cvs commands for checkout: 1) Standard: cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.cvsnt.org:/usr/local/cvs checkout cvsnt (BTW: I think there is little mistake on the command on the web page; there's a colon after the "cvs" username) 2) Short form: cvs -d ::cvs.cvsnt.org co cvsnt I got the error using the short form yesterday and tried the standard one today which worked. The cvs -t -t -t log with the short form for the relevant part (I hope I didn't miss anything): 18:13:43: S -> map_filename(/usr/local/cvs/cvsnt,schema.vsd) 18:13:43: S -> map_repository(/usr/local/cvs/cvsnt/schema.vsd) 18:13:43: S -> lookup_module2(cvsnt/schema.vsd,52) 18:13:43: S -> RCS_parse(schema.vsd,/usr/local/cvs/cvsnt) 18:13:43: S -> rcsbuf_open(/usr/local/cvs/cvsnt/schema.vsd,v) 18:13:43: S -> rcsbuf_fill(0x826a1f4,(nil),(nil),(nil)) 18:13:43: S -> rcsbuf_fill: expanded to 131072 18:13:43: S -> Classify_File (schema.vsd) 18:13:43: S -> RCS_getversion((null),(null),1) 18:13:43: S -> vn_rcs=1.13 18:13:43: S -> RCS_checkout (/usr/local/cvs/cvsnt/schema.vsd,v, 1.13, b, (function)) 18:13:43: S -> rcsbuf_setpos_to_delta_base() 18:13:43: S -> rcsbuf_fill(0x826a1f4,0x408fa008,0xbfffdae8,0xbfffdb9c) 18:13:43: S -> rcsbuf_fill: expanded to 262144 18:13:43: S -> got rcs_mode = 0666 from rcs-permissions-tag 18:13:43: S -> fileattr_find(file[@name=F'%s']/watched) 18:13:43: S -> RCS_getversion((null),(null),1) 18:13:43: S -> server_register(schema.vsd, 1.13, , b, , , , , , , ) 18:13:43: S -> Register(schema.vsd, 1.13, , b, , , , , ) 18:13:43: S -> server_updated(schema.vsd,0666) 19:13:45: -> call_in_directory /usr/local/cvs/cvsnt/schema.vsd,cvsnt/ cvs [checkout aborted]: Input translation failure Best regards Andreas -- Andreas Tscharner starfire at dplanet.ch ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Except for 75% of the women, everyone in the whole world wants to have sex. -- Ellyn Mustard
