CVSROOT/passwd problems.
Hi! I have been using the SystemAuth=yes method
to authenticate users forCVS Server. (available in the CVSROOT/config file).
The System I am using isRed Hat 8 with cvs-1.11.2. The repository is in /cvs
directory. Thepermissions for this are ug+rwx. It belongs to root user and
cvs group. Currently the requirements changed and I
was required to setup ascenario to use the CVSROOT/passwd file for the
authentication procedure.The steps I carried out were:
a) Created a group 'cvs'. b) Assigned 5 users to it. These
were already existing users on the CVSServer machine.
c) Copied the passwords from the System passwords file to the
CVSROOTdirectory. d) Changed permission for this as
ugo+r (read only for user, group andothers). e) The
structure of the file is
thus,
gagneet:hfhsdgst/gjkgj/..*:gagneet
xyz:askjdflkaj;;;dmjdjkdl:xyz
abc:askjdflkaj;;;dmjdjkdl:abc
uvw:askjdflkaj;;;dmjdjkdl:uvw
pqr:askjdflkaj;;;dmjdjkdl:pqr(Earlier I had also tried with giving the
user name at the end., i.e.,gagneet:hfhsdgst/gjkgj/..*
)On the client side I am using WinCVS 13b10. When I try to now login
thefollowing error message is given.cvs -d
:pserver:gagneet@cvsserver:/cvs loginLogging in to
:pserver:gagneet@cvsserver:2401/cvsFatal error, aborting.cvs [login
aborted]: gagneet: no such user* CVS exited normally with code 1
*without the system username it gives:cvs -d
:pserver:gagneet@cvsserver:/cvs loginLogging in to
:pserver:gagneet@cvsserver:2401/cvsFatal error, aborting.cvs [login

*Also, when I give a wrong password, the following message comes

gagneet* CVS exited normally with code 1 *This should
mean that the settings on the CVS Server are fine but they arenot working
with the CVSROOT/passwd file.My cvspserver file in the /etc/xinetd.d/
directory contains the followingcontent:# default: on## service

tcpport = 2401wait = nouser =
rootpassenv = PATHserver =
/usr/bin/cvsserver_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs
pserver}Please Help. I do not know now what else is to be done..
I have tried allfrom my side..Thank

The repository is in /cvs directory. The permissions for this are ug+rwx. It belongs to root user and cvs group. You are not using CVS - you are using CVSNT (http://www.cvs.org). They have a mailing list. You should have better chances if you post your problem there. /|/|ike ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
