I am wondering, if anybody knows, if cvs supports libpam for authentication
via pserver. I upgraded a debian linux system to use NIS+ (via libpam) for
authentication instead of the local password files. Authentication in general
works, but cvs does not work any more.
But since it did not notice it before doing a dpkg-reconfigre cvs (debian
specific), I am not 100% sure if it is really a NIS+/libpam problem. Also, if
the user is in a local password file, it should work if it is a libpam problem
only, but it does not :-(
The error message is
rainer@rai19:~/Managed/SymTrav$ cvs diff
cvs [diff aborted]: connect to rask06:2401 failed: Connection refused
and on the server
/etc/inetd.conf has the line
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs -b
/usr/bin --allow-root=/opt/cvs/bla pserver
and /etc/services contains
cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS client/server operations
cvspserver 2401/udp # CVS client/server operations
Thank you.
Rainer.
