That frequently happens when you download with a browser -- the browser automagically unzips the file but doesn't remove the .gz from the name. > My assumption at this point is that CVS is actually > just one executable that you put in the /usr/local/bin > directory, so I installed it that way.

You need to tell inetd to reread its configuration file, usually by sending it a SIGHUP. See your inetd man page for details. > My quesion is that over in the /etc/services file I > have the following lines: > cvspserver 2401/tcp > cvspserver 2401/udp > > Doesn;t there need to be an executable named > cvspserver somewhere? No, those are service names, not executable names. You inetd config file entry is what ties the cvspserver service to the /usr/local/bin/cvs executable. And note that CVS doesn't use UDP, so you should get rid of the second line (although it doesn't hurt anything to have it, nothing will ever use it). -Larry Jones But Mom, frogs are our FRIENDS! -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
