The CVS server seems to be using some sort of CVS access control, i.e. by a CVSROOT/readers or CVSROOT/writers file or something similar.
I didn't set anything like that up. I simply added this line to /etc/inetd.conf: cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/home/ng/tools/cvsroot --allow-root=/home/somewhere/else pserver
I am not sure of all the gory details about your particular setup, but the message seems to imply that `mgrant' is blocked by the access controls of the server itself.
It sure seems that way. Or it seems that somehow it's proposing the wrong password. Hmm, now, here's something funny, the password in CVSROOT/Root is all lower case and my password is mixed case. I tried editing this file and adding the mixed case, but no, that didn't help. Then, I tried changing my password on the server to match the all lower case password it insists on putting in the Root file and now I can get in, but only if I provide the -d :pserver:.... on the command line. I tried setting CVSROOT but again, the same auth error.
Do you have a CVSROOT/readers or CVSROOT/writers in /home/ng/tools/cvsroot/CVSROOT/ on the CVS server? If yes, what do they contain? Please take care of masking any sensitive data (like user passwords), if you sent their contents!!!
No, don't have any of these files on the server. At least I can now update my local copy from the cvs server using the long cmd line with the -d :pserver:... stuff. However, I'm still curious why setting CVSROOT isn't working. By the way, thanks for all your help.
