[cvsnt] CVSNT Server on Linux using pserver

[Michel Launier]

I have installed CVSTNT V2.0.41 on a Fedora Core 1 Linux distribution 
and have some client using WinCVS V1.3.17.1 on XP Professional.  Locally 
(on the Linux box) I can access the repository correcly.  However, I 
cannot seem to get WinCVS to connect properly using pserver (it was 
connecting well with the Linux distribution before I installed CVSNT).

When attempting to login from WinCVS, I get an error message that the 
repository '/xxx/yyy' does not exist (but it is actually acessible 
localy).  The log file (/var/log/cvspserver) does not show any problem. 
  In fact it says that a cvspserver is started from the proper client IP 
address.  I have verified the cvs root definition and it matches the 
'/xxx/yyy' exactly.

I am under the beleif I have not configured 'PServer' properly.  Here is 
what the file looks like:

#
# NoReverseDns     Disable Reverse lookups by the server to help broken
#                  DNS setups.
#                  This causes LockServer to report bare IP addresses.
#                  It is recommended that the DNS is fixed rather thani
#                  using this option.
#
#NoReverseDns=0

#
# LockServer       Default lock server location.  Can be overridden by
#                  LockServer directive in individual repositories.
#
LockServer=localhost:2402
 

 

#
# Unix comptable CVS

I have tried with and without lunching the cvslockd deamon.  I have also 
tried to configure the user using 'cvs passwd ...' but it seems that I 
am not capable since I am not the administrator (though I am 'root' on 
Linux).

Can you provide a hint....
