Hello Greg,
Thanks for your help. I found better info that would be more useful. CVS on
Mandrake is set up a little differently than other Linux distro (at least it
appears that way).
Here is the following;
~From /etc/xinetd.d cvs is used instead of cvspsever
<snip>
[root@DC xinetd.d]# cat cvs<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
# CVS configuration for xinetd don't forget to specify your CVSROOT in
# /etc/cvs/cvs.conf.
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/cvspserver
disable = no
}
<snip>
~The CVS configuration for xinetd in CVSROOT under /etc/cvs/cvs.conf is;
[root@DC xinetd.d]# cat /etc/cvs/cvs.conf
# -*- shell-script -*-
#
# Configuration file for the Mandrake CVS-related scripts
#
# Locations of CVS repositories you want to export via pserver
CVS_REPOS="/home/cvs/"
# cvs.conf ends here
[root@DC xinetd.d]#
Hopefully, this is enough to show what is going on.
Again, many thanks,
jp

Hi jp,
You should have a cvspserver file contained within /etc/xinetd.d that
contains something like the following:
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv =
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/home/pauljohn/cvsroot
--allow-root=/home/pauljohn/cvsmisc pserver -f
}
Of course, you'll need to change the /usr/bin/cvs to the proper path on your
Linux machine. And you'll need to change server_args to
"--allow-root=/home/cvs pserver -f".
Very important - don't forget to become root and issue the command "killall
-HUP xinetd" after you change the contents of the /etc/xinetd.d directory.
Yes, the argument following the -d switch is the value of the CVSROOT
variable. If you are using a graphical CVS client like WinCVS, you set the
CVSROOT in the Admin->Preferences dialog box.
The funny thing is that you said one of your machine could log into the
server. If the xinetd process is not configured with a
/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file, then I'm not sure how the client could log in
at all.
One other thing that you'll need is a passwd file in the /home/cvs/CVSROOT
directory that contains a listing of each user that logs in to your
repository.
Finally, are the client and server communicating on a secure LAN or over the
Internet? Be aware that the pserver protocol is insecure and should be
wrapped with SSL if you are operating over the Internet.
Regards,
Greg

Hello Greg,
Thanks for the response. The xinetd.conf files only has the default
settings;
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
... and there is no inetd.conf file.
Forgive my ignorance, but where would I find the CVSROOT value for each
client? Is it the following;
cvs -d :pserver:jp@DC:/home/cvs login
The CVS initial work area on the Linux server was created by "cvs -d
/home/cvs init", which created the CVSROOT sub-directory with all of its
contents.
Thank you,
jp

Hello,
I have CVS server running on a Mandrake 9.1 machine and Wincvs running on an
XP station and a Win98 station. The XP machine can log into the repository
while the 98 box cannot. Its receives an error of;
cvs95 [login aborted]: /home/cvs: no such repository
Afterwards, I set up Wincvs on another XP unit and it too gets the same "no
such repository" message.
I set up preferences on all three machines to be identical, but to no avail.
What can I do to resolve this?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi jp,
The only reason that the "no such repository" error should appear is when
your CVSROOT repository path does not match the value of the --allow-root
option on your CVS server. I would suggest posting the contents of your
inetd.conf/xinetd.conf here so we can have a look at it. Also, send the
value of CVSROOT for each client.
Regards,
Greg
