Hi All,
I was able to resolve my CVS problems by changing the way that I access CVS. I no longer use Putty and WinCVS. I've changed to Tortoise and changed from using the tunnelling facility through Putty (i.e. :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401:/home/cvs) to going direct (i.e. :ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs). I have retried using WinCVS with the new direct SSH link and this now also appears to be working. I still don't know why my old way no longer works, but the new method of connection appears to be working fine, so I'm happy :-)) Thanks to all for your suggestions.
P.S. If I create a .cvspass password file I don't even need to type in my password (which is great for ant scripts!).
Best regards,
Fred Preston.

Just a thought ... try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost on the server side of
your PuTTY tunnel. I think openssh is (for whatever reason, now)
considering localhost to go to an IPv6 address/port that isn't being
listened on & it isn't gracefully falling back to 127.0.0.1.
Making this change allowed my PuTTY tunnel (to Qpopper) to start working
again.
regards
Adam

Hi Apache infrastructure,
I can use putty to logon to minotaur using my user id and
password. I am using the SSH tunnel ( localhost:2401). I have my CVSROOT
setup as :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401:/home/cvs. When I use WinCVS to
checkout the latest ws-axis/c or just type "cvs -d
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401:/home/cvs -P ws-axis/c" from the command
line, I get the following error:- "cvs (checkout aborted): Error reading
from server localhost: -1: Unknown error". For over a year and up until
yesterday, this command has never failed. Now it always failed. Has
something changed on minotaur that would cause this problem?
Regards,
Fred Preston.

I?m also experiencing the same problem. I can check out from
/home/cvspublic as an anonymous user. I informed the situation to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and hope they will fix it as soon as possible.

Hi All,
Yesterday I could checkout/update/commit from/to CVS today I
can't. What's changed?
