[cvsnt] cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server ttscvs01: 0: No such file or directory

[Mike Wake]

Hi all,

This is probably Just a heads up but I thought I share anyway since the 
error message is not all that helpful.

I have just migrated a repository from a win2k machine that was created 
back in the 2.0.4 days to a linux machine running 2.0.51b.  The 
repository started out using pserver and local users on the server as 
outlined in Bo's server setup page.  I naturally had a CVSROOT/passwd 
file on the server.

I subsequently ugraded as time went by and newer and better versions 
came about. I have been using 2.0.34 with the sspi protocol for quite 
some time now.  The CVSROOT/passwd file and the necessity for local 
users fell into disuse and did not cause any problems.

The passwd file contains the same usernames that are used with :sspi: 
but the passwords are different.  With new security measures I assume 
that this is no longer allowed.

After copying the repository from the win2k machine to the linux 
machine, applying the necessary file and directory permissions I tried 
to login, using WinCVS and :sspi: only to be met with

cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server ttscvs01: 0: No such file 
or directory

I eventually tried removing the old no longer needed passwd file and 
everything is now operational.

Hope this helps
