Using NFS in other ways may be a bad idea, but IIRC this hasn't yet been shown. (BTW, when talking about repository corruption, "until now it has always worked" isn't a very good reason. In the first place, unless you specifically check you may miss some cases of corruption; in the second place, this is sufficiently bad that you don't want to take chances.) > I can access CVS from my PC, using CVS under DOS, but when I try to connect > from the solaris 8 I got the following unfriendly error message: > > >SOL8% cvs -d :pserver:cyb@IBMAIX:2402/vns/cvsroot login
This is the way it is specified in the manual for 1.11.2; I don't know how it is specified in earlier versions. I haven't had to specify a port (I assume you've got the usual AIX conflict there), and so don't know if it works in general. > >(Logging in to cyb@IBMAIX) > >CVS password: > >2402/vns/cvsroot: no such repository On the other hand, this shows that CVS is not parsing the CVSROOT as you like, but is assuming 2402 is the start of the repository location rather than the port. What version of CVS are you using on AIX and the Solaris? -- Now building a CVS reference site at http://www.thornleyware.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
