Francesco, If your CVS server is running on Windows then it is most certainly CVSNT not CVS.
The correct place for questions about CVSNT is here: news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt Or http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt CVSNT server and clients are available for Linux/Unix/Mac OS X etc etc. It may be worthwhile using a CVSNT client on linux. The exact syntax of the CVSROOT will depend on the configuration of the CVSNT server. Also the CVS server on Windows may reject pserver access if it has been disabled. For instance directly referring to the physical location on the Windows server has been discouraged for quite a long time (E:/CVSROOT/ is d3efined in the CVSNT control panel as a user defined location like /myrepo). You may want to try: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:E:/CVSROOT/ login password: Regards, Arthur Barrett -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Francesco M.

Hi all, I'm trying to check out a Module with CVS 1.1.17 from a Mandrake 10 Linux client. CVS is installed on a Windows Machine. Assuming the CVS is installed on "WindowsMachine" on "E:/CVSROOT" and the credentials are user/password: cvs -d :pserver:user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:E:/CVSROOT/ Unfortunately CVS rejects this command and issues the "Usage cvs: ...." prompt. Does anybody know how to connect to the Windows CVS server ??? thanks a lot in advance Francesco _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
