Ted, Could it be that you have CVSNT server?
CVSNT server by default does reverse DNS lookup on the client (for auditing). This can be turned off in the control panel in windows or in the /etc/cvsnt/Pserver configuration file on Unix. Please direct questions about CVSNT to the CVSNT newsgroup: http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt or news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt Regards, Arthur Barrett -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted Beaton Sent: Tuesday, 2 August 2005 2:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: CVS Using auth protocol on port 113 I have my cvs machine sitting in my dmz. The developers I support have noticed a 30 second delay for user authentication everytime they try to check out code and if they are checking out a tree, it does it for every folder. I put a sniffer on the port and and found that the 30 second delay was due to the cvs machine opening a new port (113) to try and ident the machine that initiated the request. This fails because for some reason I can't figure out, I can't get the firewall to pass the auth request from the dmz to the internal machine requesting the data. Once the timeout expires, the cvs machine sends the data anyway (on port 2401 like it is supposed to) but the developer is already irritated. My question to the list is this, is there anyway to turn this "feature" off so it doesn't try and make this auth protocol identification. I have found (through packet sniffing) that when one of our developers goes to a cvs repository out on the internet, that cvs server doesn't try and use the auth protocol for machine identification. This didn't use to be a problem but I haven't been able to figure out what has changed to make it become a problem, so here's hoping someone else has dealt with this and has an easy answer.
