CVS as pserver & modules file is not supported

CVS as pserver & modules file is not supported

[Phil Dempster]

I have drafted a basic HOWTO on :pserver: with Cygwin.
 It is currently awaiting verification before finding
its way into the CVS docs.  I personally recommend
following Chuck's advice (which he's supplied
repeatedly to various flavours of the same question).

If, however, anyone wants to try my procedure and
provide constructive feedback I'd be happy to email it
to them.  I'm not prepared to post it to the group at
this point since it may not work for everyone (and I
ain't supporting it!).

Cheers, Phil.

Search the archives.  cvsd as a :pserver: is not yet supported.  SOME 
people have had success after much effort; others have not.  (cvs DOES 
work as a :pserver: client however)

Instead of going to all the effort of writing a java proxy, you could 
have merely getten sshd running on your repository machine, and used 
'CVS_RSH=ssh' on your local machine.  Then, with 
'CVSROOT=:ext:user@repositorymachine:/path/to/rep' stuff would just work.

But you wouldn't know that unless you either (a) read the documentation 
in /usr/doc/Cygwin/cvs*, or (b) searched the mailing list archives...

CVS as pserver & modules file is not supported

[Stephane Passignat]

Hello,

I'm trying to install CVS as a pserver on NT4.0 and I've lots of problems:

- server refused connection, so I've developped a server in Java to bypass
inetd, then cvs works.
BUT
- now cvs to use CVROOT/modules files



here is my config
-----------------------------------
inetd.conf :
cvspserver stream  tcp  nowait  root  /bin/cvs
cvs -f --allow-root=/cygdrive/d/testcvs pserver

WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\Services:
cvspserver  2401/tcp

modules :
test   -a  dev

CVSROOT/passwd:
cvsuser:kp/xiYcq1gIF2:User

/etc/passwd:
User:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:U-UC1663\User,S-1-5-21-1939158516-1601194
375-301078236-1000:/home/User:/bin/bash
-------------------------------------


Thank's

Stephane
