NEW - UNKNOWN HOST
I am using WIN NT to login to a LINUX CVS SERVER when I type CVS LOGIN at the c prompt I get a "UNKNOWN HOST" error. I have everything set up according to the documentation, and I can ping my host machine so I'm not sure what the problem is. Has anyone solved this when they started using cvs from NT environment?
CVS client on Windows platform
My CVS server is in UNIX platform. I am looking for a CVS client on Windows platform. I have checked out some CVS useful sites (e.g. www.cvshome.org). Eventually, I find a suitable CVS client (i.e. wincvs). However, I can't make it connecting to the CVS server. As the documentation mentions that I can use SSH command and .rhost file to connect CVS server. But as I know that, this method is used in UNIX-UNIX machine connection. Please if anybody can teach me in details how to connect my CVS server by using WinCVS in my PC. Besides of WinCVS, is there any good CVS client software running in PC Windows environment ?

Alexey Mahotkin wrote: It almost cleanly applies to cvs-1.10.8 and, as the matter of fact, the new release of cvs-nserver will be against 1.10.8. The most significant modification of original code is the removal of about 600 lines from server.c, yet it is still way, way too long. Ahh... server.c is the most heavily modified part of cvsnt (Essentially I had to rewrite half of it to use threads rather than forking). Much fun ahead, methinks... There is an obvious task to improve server.c by splitting kerberos- and GSSAPI-related code from it thus creating cvs-kserver and cvs-gserver. There is probably also need to create cvs-sslserver (I have not investigated yet whether we could get along with ssl-tunnel'ed server (we surely can not get along with ssl-tunneled client as it almost has nothing to tunnel)). For NT you would also need cvs-ntserver. It might be worth investigating whether cvs-kserver could be ported to NT too (although the MS documentation on this is worse than useless). It seems to me that checkpassword scheme is sub-perfect for NT though I could be wrong. I've tried to research security aspects of NT but has not reached considerable results. And after I learned about your project and changed job recently hoping not to see MS in a lifetime no more (though it seems like I will have to anyway) I completely relaxed and thought that I'd be better off with CVS under UNIX. Though I will be glad if nserver will influence the development of NT-CVS or vice versa. Under NT you can't do setuid, and you can't check against a pre-encrypted system password. The only way to validate a password is to attempt a non-interactive login (after which you can change you UID to it). Of course this means you need the original plain-text password to work, and this has security implications. There isn't a way around this as far as I can see.

Re: CVS access using SSH
Actually, the ssh command that I have: ssh -v projectname.sourceforge.net -l username does work just fine. It's simply that if I use the batch file, it does autologin, but it then causes the -BASH errors that keep CVS from continuing. Without a change to CVS, about the only solution I can come up with at this time, is to upload my public/private key to a different location at Sourceforge, if this is allowed, so that it will find the key when it tries to log me into cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net. WinCVS has the same problems, although it's likely because it is simply using the command line client, rather than executing something new and different. Anyway, thanks for the help.

Proposal: have client CVS send remote username to server CVS
The advantage of pserver is the ability to map one or more users to the same system user on the server. The disadvantages are the need to "cvs login" and the lack of security. The advantages of client/server CVS using SSH is the easier usage (ie no "cvs login") and the better security. The disadvantages are key maintenance and no ability to map users. Client/server CVS can easily map users if the client sent the remote user's name over to the server to use in its logs. Therefore, I propose that such an enhancement should be done (I'll even do the work if my schedule doesn't get overloaded). The effects of this change would be obvious to those using client/server CVS where the client usernames aren't the same as the server usernames. It would, in effect, make client/server CVS be more consistent with the behaviour of pserver CVS. (The key maintenance disadvantage of SSH CVS will have to wait until someone extends SSH to support SRP -- such an extensions has already been proposed). Any comments?

What that message is trying to tell you is that there's a file in your
working directory that has the same name as a file in the repository,
but as far as CVS knows, the file in your working directory did *not*
come from the repository but was created independently. You need to
rename that file ("move it out of the way") and do the update again to
get the file from the repository. If the file in your working directory
was intended to be the file from the repository, you can then do diffs
or whatever to manually merge any changes between the two versions.

Re: Diff bug when using the HEAD tag?
"Cameron, Steve" wrote: [ DELETED STUFF ] HEAD as described here definitely has some impossible or at least meaningless cases: for instance, a sticky, non-branch tag (or date or revision) on a file could match a revision that is present on multiple branches, so which is the "correct" current branch for which the tip revision should be found? There's no sensible answer. I suppose that could be treated as an error and CVS could say, in essence, "you've asked me a nonsense question." for such files. Seems more trouble than it's worth to me though. I think my approach would be that non-branch tags would be treated as the top of a branch with no revisions commited to it. Therefore, for a file that is checked out on the non-branch tag, the difference between it and HEAD would be empty. Now for a file that has not been checked out with a tag, I think the difference would have to be against the top of the trunk.

CVS pserver problems
Hi, I have been through this list with a fine toothpick and comb, but it has not solved my problem. I have one RedHat 6.1 box and cvs-1.10.6 I am running pserver from inetd.conf and every thing is cool. cvspserver is on port 2401/tcp. I have one Caldera eServer 2.3 box that had cvs-1.10.6 but I could not get it working, so I compiled and installed cvs-1.10.8 as per one of the postings here. Now when I try and log in I cvs hangs on the server side. Below is a snippet from inetd -d. ADD : cvspserver proto=tcp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=root.(null) builtin=0 server=/usr/bin/cvs someone wants cvspserver accept, ctrl 3 24874 execl /usr/bin/cvs Why is it running OK on RedHat but not on Caldera ?? Any suggestions, as usual gratefully recieved. Robert

Re: Proposal: have client CVS send remote username to server CVS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on 06/08/2000 12:13:35 PM Noel L Yap writes: Client/server CVS can easily map users if the client sent the remote user's name over to the server to use in its logs. Therefore, I propose that such an enhancement should be done (I'll even do the work if my schedule doesn't get overloaded). The main problem I see with this is that you lose all accountability -- the client can claim to be anyone and the server will just blindly accept that the client is telling the truth. pserver does at least some authentication by requiring that the user be known and requiring the corresponding password. Pserver authentication is extremely bogus. Better authentication can be done using SSH (if people really cared about it). If people didn't care too much about it, they'd rely on client login as enough authentication. If people are really against such a change, another $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/config parameter (eg UseRemoteUserName) can be created. I wouldn't even mind too much if the default were "no", but I think setting to "yes" can allow better audit trails (ie better security) in some situations. For example, given that someone had gotten hold of someone else's private SSH key and used it to commit something, their (ie the hacker's (the term "hacker" used extremely broadly here)) username will get recorded. (I also think that a more general solution to the audit trail problem would be if SSH set an environment variable (eg REMOTE_USER) but that's another proposal ;) Noel This communication is for informational purposes only.

reading from server: Connection reset by peer ??
Hello everyone, I am new to CVS and to this mailing list. So I am still trying to set it up. I am using wincvs 1.1b13 on an NT client side, I am using CVS 1.9 on a unix server.I have setup a pserver and cvsroot.I don't have any groups setup, and thecvsroot isin my account directory on Unix.I have been able to login to CVSfromWinCVS but when I try to do anything after the loginI getthe message reading from server: Connection reset by peer Ex:when I try to import a directory com with one java file in it I get this message:**Filtering 'D:\com'...cvs import -I ! -I CVS -m "no message" com avendor arelease (in directory D:\com)cvs [import aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer *CVS exited normally with code 1Has anyone else ever got this message? Where is the problem? Is the version of WinCVS compatible with CVS's version?Manny
initilizing repository error?
when I tried to create the repository I get this error: cvs -d cvsroot initcvs [init aborted]: cannot open cvsroot/CVSROOT/loginfo: No such file or directory I thought this command should give me no problem at all. Does this mean CVS was installed incorrectly? Manny
loginfo question
Can someone explain why CVS does not send an email notification to both john and olaf? In either case, I commited a file in test/dir1 (see below). Is there a way to fix this? I would like one person to get notifications for all sub-directories and the other only for a specific sub-directory. Below are lines from my loginfo file. * case 1 * ^test* bla "%s" john ^test/dir1* bla "%s" olaf # why does olaf not get and email? * case 2 * ^test/dir1* bla "%s" olaf ^test* bla "%s" john # why does john not get an email? Olaf The client (NTW 4.0) uses cvs.exe from WinCVS 1.1b13 The server is cvs version 1.10.5 on Rad Hat Linux 6

I would point out that requiring someone to know both halves of the "username/password" pair for cvs-pserver access doesn't really grant any significant amount of accountability except in the most restricted scenarios. Cvs-pserver conceptually only affords accountability from the point of view of the host system to the extent that one knows things like "well it must have been one of those CVS users who did such and such." -- Greg A.

The disadvantages are key maintenance and no ability to map users. Not so quick there -- you can set up "anonymous" SSH access with as many "many-to-one" mappings as you can imagine. Just how "anonymous" it is will depend on your key distribution infrastructure My point was that, using this method, CVS will treat each of the many users as the one system user. Pserver doesn't do that. You can map many CVS users to one user and CVS will know them by their CVS username, not their system name. Noel This communication is for informational purposes only.

A branch-tag name for the trunk! maybe. (was RE: diff bug when using HEAD)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (that's me) wrote: [smc] "TRUNK" sounds useful, "HEAD" as described here, less so, since the branch tag may currently be used for that purpose, (though it might be useful for scripts or something that don't want to have to know what the branch tag is, or in the case of some kind of hybrid sandbox with modules from multiple branches (or even multiple repositorires?)) But, does anyone here know how to implement either HEAD or TRUNK as described here? ,, I don't know how. Well, perhaps someone does... Heck, perhaps *I* do, after all. I've implemented *something* anyway, a ".trunk" tag that acts very very much like a branch tag for the trunk. You can "cvs diff", "cvs add", "cvs remove", "cvs update", "cvs checkout", "cvs commit" using this tag. Also it doesn't break the current behavior of "no tag means the trunk". "cvs update -A" will get rid of the sticky ".trunk pseudo branch tag" too, and "cvs update -r .trunk" will bring it back... Anyway, you can check out my attempt at a patch here, if you have the inclination. http://www.geocities.com/dotslashstar/branch_patch.html The patch is against the current (6/8/2000) development version of CVS. The patch leaves the current (broken) behavior of HEAD as is, ".trunk" does what HEAD should have done, I think. (There aren't any sanity.sh tests yet... and I haven't tried it in client server mode yet, and don't try this on a real repository yet, etc. etc. I think it works, but I wouldn't want to ruin anybody's day with what could easily be shoddy code, you know? Consider yourself warned. There's some stuff there in commit.c that I wasn't really too sure about..., but it seemed to work on the things that I tried... -- steve __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
