Hi,

I am trying to setup VCS for personal use. I have set it up on server and it works.

trying to connect it remotely it worked with ext and ssh. I want to use pserver method as it uses unique port 2401.

This seems to be working but when trying to connect from remote linux laptop the laptop gives /home cvsroot not found and the messge in server log file is that login refused.

Is this a pam issue or vcs issue.

The pam side is confusing for me.

Thanks

How are you trying to connect to pserver? The correct command should be:
Most likely your "path to CVSROOT" is wrong.
You can run:
in the cvs server to find out the correct path.

Thanks for the reply. echo $CVSROOT on cvs server is /home/cvsroot.
on server the checkout etc is working.

from remote if I connect using ext: instead od pserver it works.

It is only when using pserver that I am having problem.

using cvs login command on remote I get /home/cvsroot no such repository

on the cvs server in /var/log/messages I get Sep 10 15:08:51 kslserver cvs: login refused for /home/cvsroot

This is why I was suspecting the PAM module which is probably not letting me login using pserver.

content of my /etc/pam.d/cvs is
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient pam_permit.so
account sufficient pam_permit.so


the content of /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver is

# default: off
# description: The CVS service can record the history of your source \
# files. CVS stores all the versions of a file in a single \
# file in a clever way that only stores the differences \
# between versions.
service cvspserver
{
disable = no
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = cvs
passenv =
server = /usr/bin/cvs
env = CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot
server_args = -f --allow-root=/var/cvs pserver
bind = 192.168.2.3
}


Any pointers to how I should progress.

According to the above line in your xinetd configuration your CVSROOT is /var/cvs. What is the correct dir anyway, it's /home/cvsroot or /var/cvs?
Make the correct changes, restart xinetd and see what happens.

Regards

Thanks for the hint

That worked.
