[cvsnt] cvsnt server on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

Wed Jul 2 04:30:39 BST 2008

Here's what I get:

quadmac:~ wlinn$ grep cvspserve /etc/services
cvspserver      2401/udp    # cvspserver
cvspserver      2401/tcp    # cvspserver
quadmac:~ wlinn$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver service cvspserver {
	disable = no
	socket_type	= stream
	wait		= no
	user		= root
	server		= /usr/bin/cvsnt
	server_args	= authserver
	groups		= yes
	flags		= REUSE IPv6
	mdns		= no	# Lockserver handles mdns broadcast
}
quadmac:~ wlinn$ telnet localhost 2401
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying fe80::1...
telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

I did a fresh install of cvsnt, rebooted, tried to telnet again and got the
same three connection refused messages.

Regards,

Bill

Usually 'localhost' is excluded from all that anyway.

Check that everything is set up ok, from a shell:

imac:~ abarrett$ grep cvspserve /etc/services
cvspserver      2401/udp    # cvspserver
cvspserver      2401/tcp    # cvspserver

imac:~ abarrett$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver
service cvspserver
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/bin/cvsnt
        server_args     = authserver
        groups          = yes
        flags           = REUSE IPv6
        mdns            = no    # Lockserver handles mdns broadcast
}

If that is what you see then a reboot of your box after installing CVSNT
should make everything run OK.  If not then try this and send us your
results:

imac:~ abarrett$ telnet localhost 2401
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

cvsnt [server aborted]: bad auth protocol start: 
error  
Connection closed by foreign host.
