So I'm trying to set up a CVS repository on a box with rh 7.3. The cvs
version is 1.11.1p1. The error I'm getting when trying to login is "no such
repository".
names changed to protect the guilty : )
I created a user and group "foo" and a home dir /home/foo. I login as foo and
cd to the directory /home/foo. Then I created a repository by doing "cvs -d
/home/foo init". This seems to work fine - the CVSROOT directory gets created
etc.
Then I create /home/foo/CVSROOT/passwd which looks like:
johndoe:<crypt>:foo
As root, I then created the file /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver that has the
following:
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv =
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/home/foo pserver -f
}
/etc/services has lines:
cvspserver 2401/tcp
cvspserver 2401/udp
I then restart xinetd by doing "/etc/init.d/xinetd restart".
So now on another machine I do:
cvs -d :pserver:johndoe@<some_ip_address>:/home/foo -login
I get the "CVS password" prompt and enter the appropriate string.
Then I get this error output:
/home/foo: no such repository
Any ideas on what I might have missed?
Thanks,
Michael.
