I've seen a number of threads about pserver authentication failure for no obvious reason, and I'm getting the same errors. > [jhg@janus jhg]$ cvs -d :pserver:jhg@localhost:/home/cvs/repository login > Logging in to :pserver:jhg@localhost:2401/home/cvs/repository > CVS password: > cvs login: authorization failed: server localhost rejected access to >/home/cvs/repository for user jhg
I was able to make it work by creating a passwd file in /home/cvs/repository/CVSROOT. When I did that and then tried it again: > [jhg@janus jhg]$ cvs -d :pserver:jhg@localhost:/home/cvs/repository login > Logging in to :pserver:jhg@localhost:2401/home/cvs/repository > CVS password: > cvs login: failed to open /home/jhg/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory > cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting Hmm... different error message this time, let's create .cvspass and see what happens: > [jhg@janus jhg]$ touch .cvspass > [jhg@janus jhg]$ cvs -d :pserver:jhg@localhost:/home/cvs/repository login > Logging in to :pserver:jhg@localhost:2401/home/cvs/repository > CVS password: > [jhg@janus jhg]$ How about that, it worked! Summary: It appears that on RH7.1 (kernel 2.4.9-6) at least, the current version of CVS (cvs-1.11.1p1-cvshome.7x.1) has problems with remote authentication. Here are some example lines from /var/log/secure (SYSLOG/AUTHPRIV) for previously failed login attempts. > Nov 18 17:23:08 janus xinetd[826]: START: cvspserver pid=11253 from=127.0.0.1 > Nov 18 17:23:08 janus cvs: login failure by jhg / °´^W@°´^W@^P (for >/home/cvs/repository) > Nov 18 17:24:13 janus xinetd[826]: START: cvspserver pid=11256 from=127.0.0.1 > Nov 18 17:24:13 janus cvs: login failure by jhg / °´^W@°´^W@^P (for >/home/cvs/repository) The string after the / which I assume is supposed to be the obfuscated password, doesn't match what's in the protocol stream: BEGIN VERIFICATION REQUEST /home/cvs/repository jhg AS 14=/y< END VERIFICATION REQUEST I HATE YOU -- James Garrison Athens Group, Inc. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 5608 Parkcrest Dr http://www.athensgroup.com Austin, TX 78731 PGP: RSA=0x92E90A3B DH/DSS=0x498D331C (512) 345-0600 x150 _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
