[cvsnt] Installation of CVSNT on Solaris 10, can't get it to work

I have read about all there is to read on the internet but I can't get
CVSNT to work on Solaris 10. I do hope somebody can point me in the
right direction. 

 

Steps I have taken sofar: 

Installing the binary package 2.5.03 via pkgadd, this went well: 

  # pkginfo | grep -i cvs

  # application cvsnt                            cvsnt

  # /usr/local/bin/sparcv9/cvs -v

  

  Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382
(client/server)

 

Next I have created a file /cvs_inetd containing 2 lines to be imported
in the inet configuration

  cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/sparcv9/cvs -f server

  cvsntlockd stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/sparcv9/cvslockd -g
-l

 

These have been added to the inetd manifests via "inetconv -f -i
/cvs_inetd"

 

After enabling the services via svcadm there are 2 ports listening, so I
assume the CVS server and lock daemon are functioning. 

 

Then trying to initialise a repository on the disk, I get an error: 

  # /usr/local/bin/sparcv9/cvs -d /export/CVS 

  cvs [init aborted]: Error communicating with lock server: No such file
or directory

 

Which may be true, there is no /export/CVS directory. After creating
this dir I get the same error: 

  # /usr/local/bin/sparcv9/cvs -d /export/CVS init

  cvs [init aborted]: Error communicating with lock server: No such file
or directory

 

If I change the inetd lines to include a "-d /export/CVS" on the cvs
server line, import in inetd manifest, restart service, still the same
error. And the /etc/cvs/Pserver configuration file contains the
repository indication: 

Repository0=/export/CVS

Repository0Name=/CVS

#

# LockServer       Default lock server location.  Can be overridden by

#                  LockServer directive in individual repositories.

#

#LockServer=localhost:2402

#

# LockServerLocal  If enabled lockserver only listens on local machine
for

#                  connections (default)

#

LockServerLocal=0

# Compatibility levels - currently:

# 0 = Legacy cvs (cvshome.org cvs, eclipse)

# 1 = cvsnt (cvsnt client, wincvs, tortoisecvs, etc.)

#

# Compat<n>_OldVersion  Pretend to be a Unix CVS version (1.11.1).
Keeps some

#                       picky frontends happy (eg. Eclipse)

Compat0_OldVersion=1

#

# RemoteInitRoot   Allow existing repository administrators to issue
remote

#                  'cvs init' commands.  Repositories will be placed in
this

#                  directory.

RemoteInitRoot=/export

 

Removing the repository from the Pserver file, no effect. I am at a loss
here, what am I doing wrong? 

 

Thanks in advance for any pointes to a solution.
