Hi We have a cvs repository on a linux server. We use WinCVS 1.2 to connect. In my preferences my cvsroot is as follows:
admin@phantom:/cvsdata Our repository name is cvsdata. Now, I created a folder called metadata on the same level in the directory structure as cvsdata. But because of disc space initialized metadata as follows: cvs -d /cvsdata/metadata The CVSROOT directory was created with no problem. The following line was in /etc/inetd.conf: cvspserver stream tcp nwait.400 root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs -b /usr/bin --allow-root=/cvsdata pserver I added the following line to make provision for the new repository: cvspserver stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs -b /usr/bin --allow-root=/cvsdata/metadata I have a group called users and the metadata directory belongs to this group. It is the same group as for cvsdata My question is: what must I do such that I can change my cvsroot on the client side to admin@phantom:/cvsdata/metadata and log in with success. It is like cvs doesn't recognise the new repository metadata as a place to log in to. If I log in with admin@phantom:/cvsdata as my cvsroot I can check metadata out like a normal module that is part of the cvsdata repository. I want to use the same user passwords and usernames as for cvsdata. I receive the following error when I try to log in: cvs login: authorization failed: server phantom rejected access to /cvsdata/metadata for user admin Can you please advise? Thank you so much!!
