cvs 1.11.1p1 server/client on solaris 2.6 and cvs 1.11 client on Windows NT (plus some mach next 3.3 machine clients 1.11.1p1). We are running psever with non-root account from inetd.conf
I usually wait more than 24hrs before cleaning up misc pserver processes. Is it possible that the client is responding to the KEEPALIVE signal, even though it no longer needs/uses that particular pserver process? on UNIX the client process exits after the command runs, I am unsure about windows and WinCVS. Is there a way to test and see if the KEEPALIVE option is being used?
