Howdy,
I'm setting up a new repository here, using cvs-1.10.8 source
unmodifed, compiled on Solaris 2.6-ish (gcc-2.7.2.2) and on
my NT4 machine (MSDev 6).
All the developers will be using NT clients, rsh'ing, a la:
CVSROOT=me@host:/cvs/master
So, I'm doing things from the client side.
When I tried:
cvs -d me@host:/cvs/master init
I got the following error:
Protocol error: Root request missing
I set
set CVS_CLIENT_LOG=clog
on the NT machine, and here are clog.in and clog.out:

I didn't read anywhere that cvs init couldn't be run from the client
side, but I went over the the Solaris machine and did the cvs init there,
and everything worked just fine.
I'm just curious if cvs init is supposed to work from client side,
and if so, what is the cause of the errors I had?
Thanks
