Hi Arthur,
I'm so sorry for missing the CVSNT version details. We have CVSNT 2.5.04
[(Zen) Build 3236] server running on RHEL ES 4. As already stated, the
client (WinCVS 2.0.2.4) is on WinXP SP3.
The following might be helpful:
-----------------------------------------------
I have disabled SystemAuth in CVSROOT/config file.
[root at localhost CVSROOT]# cat passwd
gchhabra:JclWox4/L/AmU:root
[root at localhost CVSROOT]#
-----------------------------------------------
[root at localhost cvsnt]# netstat -ap | grep 2401
[root at localhost cvsnt]# netstat -ap | grep cvs
tcp 0 0 *:cvspserver *:* LISTEN
2412/xinetd
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:2402 *:* LISTEN
3786/cvslockd
tcp 0 0 ::1:2402 *:* LISTEN
3786/cvslockd
udp 0 0 *:5353 *:*
3786/cvslockd
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 10513 3786/cvslockd
[root at localhost cvsnt]#
Is the port 2412 for xinetd problematic? I think it's 2401 by default.
Using WinCVS, I even tried logging in using the above port no. but I'm
getting the following error:
----------------------------------------------
cvs -z9 -d :pserver:gchhabra at 10.5.68.161:2412:/usr/local/cvsrep/ login
Logging in to :pserver:gchhabra at 10.5.68.161:2412:/usr/local/cvsrep/
connect to 10.5.68.161:2412 failed: No connection could be made because the
target machine actively refused it.
-----------------------------------------------
[root at localhost cvsnt]# pwd
/etc/cvsnt
[root at localhost cvsnt]# cat PServer
Repository0=/usr/local/cvsrep/
Repository0Name=/usr/local/cvsrep/
[root at localhost cvsnt]#
Was this PServer file created when I ran 'cvs init' command?
I just was that there is a PServer.example file. Is this something similar
to the CVSNT 'control panel' that we have in Windows? Was your reference to
the attachment size meant for this file? I think, I have put the details of
my current PServer file in PServer.example and rename the 'PServer.example'
file to 'PServer'. Isn't it?
While writing this reply, I have done the following changes to my PServer
file:
-----------------------------------------------
[root at localhost cvsnt]# cat PServer | grep -v "#"
Repository0=/usr/local/cvsrep/
Repository0Name=/usr/local/cvsrep/
LockServer=localhost:2402
1 = cvsnt (cvsnt client, wincvs, tortoisecvs, etc.)
-----------------------------------------------
[root at localhost CVSROOT]# less /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/local/bin/
server_args = --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsrep -f pserver
disable = no
}
-----------------------------------------------
Regards,
Gaurav
