The following is an excerpt from one of my modules files: common -d . bash .bash_profile .bash_setterm .bashrc I can successfully checkout the common module when configured for local mode. However, when configured for client/server mode the checkout fails with the following error messages: $ cvs checkout common cvs server: existing repository /export/home/jt/lib/profile does not match /export/home/jt/lib/profile/bash cvs server: ignoring module common Am I trying to use CVS improperly? If not, is the above a known client/server issue? Thanks, Jason P.S. In case you are wondering what I'm trying to do... I would like to place my bash start-up files under CVS and access them from various machines using client/server mode. The files in the common module are generic to all machines and source in machine specific files (eg, .bash_profile-$HOSTNAME). -- Jason Tishler Director, Software Engineering Phone: +1 (732) 264-8770 x235 Dot Hill Systems Corporation Fax: +1 (732) 264-8798 82 Bethany Road, Suite 7 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hazlet, NJ 07730 USA WWW: http://www.dothill.com
