I think you are going to the wrong side... I am sure I am able to
connect through ssh (in fact, I am able to connect to the server by
using TortoisePlink, putty, OpenSSH of Cygwin, OpenSSH from another
Linux machine, etc). I want to go two steps forward and say how you
could reproduce the problem.
Let me make an introduction to the problem. When you use
:ext:user at domain:_path_to_repository_ in any cvs client (CVSNT, or any
other CVS taste), it works like below:
1) It takes CVS_RSH environment variable to connect to the server;
2) It spawns the command '$CVS_RSH -u user domain cvs server';
3) After authenticating and so forth (issued by the spawned process),
the client starts to talk with the server by using CVS default protocol
(pserver).
If you observe the step 2 above, you will note that the CVS_RSH command
will issue 'cvs server' on the server machine. Just try it, and you will
see what I am saying.
Then, if you just want to see the problem happen on CVSNT/Linux, just do
the following on the Linux CVSNT server machine (the same you installed
and configured the CVSNT, as I sent in my first e-mail):
$ cvsnt server
Root _path_to_repository_
E cvsnt [server aborted]: _path_to_repository_: no such repository
error
What would be the right response? If you use the 'vanilla' CVS (not
CVSNT, like the version 1.12.12), then you will get the following:
$ cvs server
Root _path_to_repository_ << no response after this, the server will
wait next cmd
ls
M MyModuleA
M MyModuleB
M MyModuleC
M MyModuleD
M MyModuleE
M MyModuleF
...
ok
Did you get me now?
Thank you,
