[cvsnt] CVSNT and "Connection reset by peer" error.

[chris.kyte at realsolutionsuk.com]

Afternoon fellow CVS users,

May I first say what a great piece of software CVSNT is and how it has 
made both our and our customers lives a lot easier when it comes to team 
based java development projects.  We have been using CVSNT along with 
WebSphere Studio Application Developer for a couple of years with many 
customers and it is only now that I have encountered my first CVS related 
issue, a testament to the software I feel.  However, none the less I have 
an issue which I have trawled through the mail archive on the cvsnt.org 
site an still cannot find an answer, so please help!!!!!

OK, the facts :

Error Text - "Connection Reset By Peer", this results in the network 
connection dropping at best, or a complete PC crash at worst.  File 
exchange will work for a short time before this error occurs, for example 
I have an enterprise application which contains three projects, a web 
project, an EJB project and a utility project.  The first project I try to 
add to the CVS sometimes updates first time, but when I try and add the 
EJB project to the CVS for example, then the error will occur.

CVS Versions Tried - 2.0.24 and 2.0.34

Operating Systems Of Server Tried - W2K Server and Windows XP

Client Operating Systems - XP

Client Development Environment - IBM WebSphere Studio Application 
Developer

If there is any more information that is required then don't hesitate to 
get in touch.

Also,  I have read on one of the troubleshooting pages that one such cause 
of this problem could be that "inetd is listening for connections but is 
unable to start CVSNT".  Obviously this is not a Windows networking 
interface but I was wondering what the CVSNT for W2K or XP equivalent may 
be, primarily as the error message is the same as we are getting???????

We have also tried telneting the server on port 2401, typing the "foo" 
command - and this returns the desired response - "bad auth protocol start 
: foo"

Finally, are there any debug settings we should be applying which will 
help us gain a more detailed error message.

Thanks in advance to anyone who has taken the time to read this note.

Kind Regards

Chris
