I've always found browsing and advertising has worked just fine for my Windows-based servers and clients... but on the Linux side its been a tad unstable. TBH, I've never really managed to get cvsnt to advertise itself, except for a few times back in the past when I used HOWL [which is now no longer maintained]; issues seemed to arise when I migrated to Apple's Bonjour/Rendezvous system. In the end I simply gave up and hacked xinetd so that advertised cvsnt's presence instead (and as a side-effect, advertised *all* services that were ran through it). Interested parties can see http://www.omz13.com/tag/xinetd for more info on this hackery. Personally I prefer xinetd to do the advertising rather than a service itself. > cvs info itself also returns valid data with a cvsroot pointing to the > missing server. When doing cvs info -b, DNS Discovery is used to find the available hosts... cvs info -r <host> talks directly to the host (using cvsnt's info protocol)... which is why its possible to get the info from a host that isn't advertising itself.
