CVS server on cygwin

[Tim Heath]

	Is it possible/easy to create a cvs server?  pserverd is not recognized
in the standard cvs that comes with the latest snapshot.

Try the `pserver' option and read
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_toc.html
hope it works,

I have successfully set up a Cygwin cvs server via ssh.  Assuming that
you have already set up the clients and the server for SSH, then the
procedure is as simple as setting your CVS_RSH and CVSROOT as follows:

    export CVS_RSH=ssh
    export CVSROOT=:ext:user@host:/path/to/cvs/repository

Note that I am explicitly using ":ext:" instead of ":server:" or omitting
this CVSROOT component all together, so that the above CVSROOT definition
will work with the Win32 cvs CLI and WinCVS GUI too.  Otherwise, these
clients will still use their built-in rsh client code.

However, one may experience group permissions problem in domain
environments.  I'm currently fighting this and some other related issues:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-10/msg01388.html

So, we have temporarily set the CVS repository's permission to Everyone
has Full Control.  I believe that using a Domain group instead of a
Local one to lock down the repository is a possible solution (which I
have not tested yet).  Note that opening up the CVS repository should
not be necessary in workgroup environments.

Although it would be nice to get the cygwin cvs to work OOTB as a server, is 
there any real reason to fight with it?  The WinCVS/CVSNT combination work just 
fine (I am using that for our webservers now).  I can check out the files using 
cygwin cvs on the local machine using PServer.  I am also using the NTServer
Authentication from within my favorite editor (MultiEdi) with a SCC emulator 
called Jalindi-Igloo.  It is all very slick.

My 2 cents

there have been sporadic reports that this is possible.  However, no one
to my knowledge has followed thru with a detail explanation of how to
get it to work.  I maintain the cygwin cvs package -- and I don't use it
as a repository server (of course, I don't use any repository *server*
-- I store all my stuff in a local repository) -- so I don't know if
this is possible or how to do it.

If you figure it out, please report back, and I'll include your tips in
the next documentation set.

cvs server on cygwin

[Brandon Kohn]

Hi all,

I'm tyring to run cvs as a repository server via cygwin and am beginning to
wonder if its even possible.  I've been unable to get rsh to work with
command (rlogin works, but rsh -l username remotehost <command> doesn't
work.  returns permission denied.)  Could somebody throw me a bone on this
one?  Perhaps it works with openSSH somehow?  A how-to?

Thanks for any help...
