Moin, moin
I have a strange problem with "CVS 1.10 `Halibut' (client/server)".
It is a not set CVSROOT variable problem on Solaris 7.
Everything seems to work fine except remote access from
a different nor the same machine using pserver.
In /etc/inetd.conf I have
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs --allow-root=/data1/cvs
pserver
and in /etc/services
cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS authentification (by Wichmann)
In /data1/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd I have an account for "wichmann".
That is, what happens:
bash$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:wichmann@bpdev1-neu:/data1/cvs
bash$ cvs login
(Logging in to wichmann@bpdev1-neu)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from bpdev1-neu: cvs
pserver: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
Ok and tried it different
bash$ cvs -d :pserver:wichmann@bpdev1-neu:/data1/cvs login
(Logging in to wichmann@bpdev1-neu)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from bpdev1-neu: cvs
pserver: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
Looks like the error message is generated from the CVS server
but how can I set a variable for the server part?
If I try to use CVS locally on the machine everything works as
expected. I have done a similar installation and setup on
Debian 2.1 and have had no problems.
I don't understand this behavior.
Can someone help me out of this?
Thomas
