Trouble with cvs server

PeW · 09-05-2005, 02:40 PM

Hi!

I've set up a cvs server on my slack 10 machine (or at least I think that I did that

) by a tutorial I found by a link on this forum.. However. It doesn't work for me. I can't login to the cvs locally at all. I've edit the inetd.conf and restarted it. I've set the repository's group to 'cvs' and fixed all the permission and so on. I also added some crypted passwords for my test users. The error is as follows when I try to login:

Code:

$ cvs -d : pserver:xx@xxx:/cvsroot login

Logging in to : pserver:xx@xxx:2401/cvsroot

CVS password: 

cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from xxx: Unknown command: `cvs'

*I've put in a blanc between ":" and "pserver" cos it will be a smiley there instead due to the forum coding*

What in earth is going wrong?

The tutorial I've used is this: http://www.uta.edu/oit/how-to/docs/cvs.php

Well.. I solved it myself (do I always have to do things by my self?

). There was a slightly error in my inet.d line and I invoked the login with wrong path.
