Re: Setting up cvs on Windows 2000


Elfyn, Melonie,

Unless something has changed that escaped my attention, what has repeatedly been stated here (though no time very recently) is that Cygwin CVS does not support the "pserver" access mode. The recommendation has been to use the "external" access mode via SSH.

If that has changed, it would be nice, but as I said, I haven't heard about it.

When you telnet to port 2401 (the pserver) your not supposed to actually get
a login prompt like telnet or ftp gives you. The pserver will just wait for
the auth protocol. What happens when you try `cvs -d
:pserver:USER@SERVER:/path/to/cvsroot login'?

If that doesn't work you may have a mis-configuration... How did you set up
inetd? Here's my cvspserver directive in inetd.conf:

  cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/repos/cvs
pserver

Also have you added the following to your
C:WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\services?

  cvspserver       2401/tcp
