FWIW, my /etc/services has cvs's pserver using 2401 tcp AND udp.  That
said, I think I remember reading in the cvs FAQ that the current
implementations only use tcp, and udp is left reserved for future use.

Now, THAT said, this is only critical if you intend to use the pserver
method of maipulating your source.  I personally tunnel through SSH,
though I was successful at using the pserver exposed through a
firewall when I had to connect from a win95 machine.

ps. This is worth what you paid for it... I don't consider myself a
CVS OR firewall expert. :)

If you manage to get this to work, I'd like to know -- I've got a
machine behind IP Masqerading (NAT) and cvs doesn't work properly.

Of course cvs via pserver protocol works over NAT. It's a relatively simple 
protocol. Just make sure you can open outgoing connections to port 2401 on the 
cvs server machine.

I'm using cvs as a Win32 client over our NAT host/router which is a Linux 
machine with a cvs server running also on a Linux box.

cvs behind a firewall?

1999-12-16 Thread e . denny
Hi All,

I'm trying to access a cvs server from behind a firewall. I don't think
I'm making it through our firewall. Can anyone give me any tips or pointers
to how I can do this. I can't seem to track down the ports/protocols
that cvs uses, so I don't know how to change our ipchains script.

Thanks,

Edgar.

from /etc/services I get that it uses tcp port 2401.
