Moah yes... According to 3. above there is no service given for the block...
So, that's the reason why xinetd complains.
Some other comments:
1) You generally don’t need to include the service config in xinetd.conf,
but rather in its own file in /etc/xinetd.d/ (as you seem to do *also*)
2) You should not need the port assignment in your config... Given the
proper service directive and name, xinetd should be able to figure the port
number through nsswitch and friends.

cvs pserver problem and xinetd. connection refused
Hey guys,
these are the steps I've taken so far to run pserser in cvs 1.11.18 (redhat 9);
however, I always get the message:
"cvs [login aborted]: connect to ##address##(##address##):2401 failed:
Connection refused"
1. created $CVSROOT and exported it. repository is set to /cvs
2. initialized the repository with init
3. added following line to the /etc/xinetd.conf file so xinetd listens to port
2401 and knows to run command cvs pserver when it receives a connection:
{
port= 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
user= root
wait= no
type= UNLISTED
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
disable = no
}
4. made sure /etc/services has the symbolic service name like below
cvspserver 2401/tcp
cvspserver 2401/udp
5. created file /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver containing the following service
cvspserver
{
port= 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
env = HOME=/cvs
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
disable = no
}
6. restart xinetd
7. created file $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd with username:password in its
own line for every user.
When I run the following command "netstat -anp", I don't see "cvspserver"
running on 2401, there is nothing running on that port!
Lastly, I've looked at the /var/log/messages file and do not see
anything of use to me in this matter. There is absolutely nothing in
this file about cvspserver or pserver. The only thing I see is the
following when xinetd is restarted:
Jan 19 15:05:01 emobilebugzilla xinetd[8501]: missing service keyword [line=21]
If anyone has any sort of clue as to why this is happening please let
me know. Most importantly, if someone knows how to fix it I will be
extremely grateful. Thank you for your time.

On the server machine, run CVS with a bogus command: /usr/um/bin/cvs xxx That will give you a list of the valid commands -- you'll note that pserver isn't in the list. If "server" isn't on the list either, the problem is that configure couldn't find your TCP/IP socket library. If it is, then the problem is that configure couldn't find the crypt() function that's used for encrypting passwords for pserver. Check your configure output and post it here if you can't figure out how to fix it. You may also want to check with some knowledgeable Solaris people to see if crypt() is in a special library or if you have to install some special package to get it. > Hmm, I just noticed that tcpwrappers appear to be in use on this machine. > Changing /etc/inetd.conf to > > cvspserver stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd > /usr/um/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsrepos pserver That's incorrect -- you need to get rid of the "cvs" when using tcpwrappers: cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/um/bin/cvs --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsrepos pserver > and...

RE: odd pserver problem
Hmmm... I think I've found part of my problem. I modified the config file to set SystemAuth=no and I noticed that other users couldn't log in anymore ... clue #1. So I was looking thru the actual /cvs/master/CVSROOT dir, and I noticed that the passwd file was not updated. It was still the older(est?) version.' I've been doing a 'checkout CVSROOT', and then editing the passwd file, and then committing it back into the repository. But it appears that doesn't update the actual passwd file??

Re: pserver problem again
Mike et all. The only thing I would add to Mike's little how-to is that the final step... Reboot is unecessary. And those of you like me who have uptimes of like 200 days etc. dont' like rebooting. Especially interrupting service. On Redhat you probably just have to restart inetd by either: killall -HUP inetd or do: /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart Regards, Darryl Linux, because you can't do a sig like this in Windoze 1:45pm up 5 days, 22:58, 0 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 (yeah only 5 days because i recompiled the kernel)

pserver problem again
Hi, I know this is a FAQ issue. However, I'm too dumb to figure this out (maybe I should not touch this linux stuff :) ). I have been working on this pserver problem last week and read all the email regarding this issue. Here is what's happened: cvs server is 1.8.10 at redhat linux 6.1 I did all the standard things in Open Source Development with CVS book. I tried "telent localhost 2401" to make sure inetd started properly. When I login from remote (another redhat linux 6.1) cvs client (1.8.10), I got cvs login: cannot open /root/.cvspass: Permission denied cvs [login aborted]: could not open /root/.cvspass: Permission denied I knew this is due to a broken inetd problem that is discussed between larry and noey. However, I tried both lines in inetd.conf and none of them work. cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/env - /usr/bin/cvs -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsrepos pserver cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/env env - /usr/bin/cvs -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsrepos pserver Cederqvist's trouble shooting session also discuss exact same problem. I applied a cvs.wrapper file copied from Hamid Ghassemi (in his question about memory error) trying to unset the HOME environment variable. Now, my inetd.conf has a line like this: cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs.wrapper cvs.wrapper sets to executable and contains the following: #!/bin/sh echo `date` >> /tmp/cvs.log unset HOME exec /usr/bin/cvs -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsRepos pserver In the last line, I tried both "exec" and "exec -". I still get the permission denied error. Apparently, cvs still use "/root" as home directory. Can you help me to see where is my problem? Do I need to remove existing "/root/.cvspass" file? Other Info: I have always signed up as root on the server box. All files I created are owned by root. I did not use passwd file in CVSROOT/ directory (yet). When attempting to connect to cvs server, I use a command like this: $cvs -d :pserver:user@domain:/usr/local/cvsRepos login if I issue this command as root (from the client side), I can pass the login in (without the permission denied error) but failed at "cvs co myproj" command.

I checked that inet is started properly. Now, I receives another error message whenever I try to log in: cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from 192.168.1.7: CVS commands are: Note that there is nothing after the colon.

[Q] Setting up Pserver problem
Hi, I'm having some problems setting up Pserver. I have done all the steps described in the book titled "Open Source Developement With CVS" but after I entered the password, I always get this error message: cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server ..x.xxx: Connection reset by peer What could be the problem? The steps that I had done is as follow: 1. made sure that /etc/services has such a line: cvspserver2401/tcp 2. put in "cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/bin/cvs --allow-root=/usr/local/newrepos pserver" into /etc/inetd.conf 3. re-started inetd by running /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet 4. Created a passwd file under CVSROOT/ 5. The format of my password file look like this cvs_user:encrypted_password:system_user_name Finally, I use "cvs -d :pserver:cvs_user@cvs_server:/usr/local/cvsroot login" to login into the cvs server. That's all I have done Did I miss any steps? Also, if I want to use SSH for login, what extra steps do I have to do? Thanks Eric

Re: pserver problem in moving from 1.10 to 1.10.8
Larry,
Hi! I changed the source according to your suggestion and the following happened
->
$cvs status -v readme.txt
setgid failed: Not owner
cvs status: authorization failed: server rejected access
Please let me know if you need more information about my setup
I think i dont have the latest version of the server.c file (as I had to
manually make the change on line 5084 instead of 5114 in your patch).
How do I know what revision of server.c i am using? How do i get the latest cvs
tarball with any patches? I've got cvs 1.10.8
Thanks heaps,
aditya
P.S. -> Making sure i've got it right...
on AIX, the initgroups(3) system call, prints a message on stderr and return an
error when the underlying call to setgroups fails.
Larry Jones wrote ->
Whoever wrote the initgroups(3) function decided that
it wasn't sufficient to just return an error if the underlying call to
setgroups fails, he or she decided to print a message to stderr as well!
This, of course, is a complete travesty. If you have source code, it's
easily fixed; in either case, you should submit a bug report to whoever
maintains your OS.

I strongly suggest kicking the IBM machinery so that it eventually gets fixed, but in the meantime, you can use the following (unofficial and unlikely to be adopted into the main source tree) patch:
pserver problem in moving from 1.10 to 1.10.8
Hi CVSers HLP!! Operating System : AIX 4.3 CVS Mode : pserver CVS Version : 1.10 We used to get the following irritating warning from cvs server on runnning every cvs command. e.g. cvs update: warning: unrecognized response `setgroups: Not owner' from cvs server Now i've (tried) to move to CVS 1.10.8 and I cant run any cvs command!! e.g. cvs [update aborted]: unrecognized auth response from goanna: setgroups: Not owner The entry in /etc/inetd.conf is as follows: cvspserver stream tcp nowait cvsowner /path/to/cvs/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/path/to/cvs/repository pserver (The pserver runs as cvsowner not root). Larry, i know you told me that could be a hideous AIX bug. Is there an easier workaround than moving the IBM machinery to send out an AIX patch? thanks in advance, aditya
