Hi Steve,
I'm not sure what is wrong, as I am pretty new to cvs. It's my experience
when this error occurs, that cvs terminates prematurely due to an error.
Possible causes could be a wrong path, a typo or a syntax error in the
inetd.conf line.
This is what I have in inetd.conf, I use wrappers as well:
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/env --unset
HOME=
/usr/bin/cvs --allow-root=/usr/local/cvs/development --allow-root=/usr/local
/cvs/solaris pserver
With respect to the unset question, this is what I got from Larry the other
day, I quote:
(...)
> [jesper@linux1 jesper]$ cvs checkout jesper
> cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
> cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied
I assume you're running pserver. You need to add a -f global option to
the cvs command in inetd.conf if it isn't there already, then you need
to unset $HOME that your inetd is helpfully setting (incorrectly!) for
you -- change inetd to use env to run cvs with a pristene environment or
run a shell script that unsets $HOME and then exec's cvs.
-Larry Jones
(...)
I hope this is of some help to you.
Cheers
/Jesp
