Hello, I've scoured the archives and read whatever I can find on the web but am stumped. This is what I've done... * Set up a cvs server on a 4.3-RELEASE machine (for arguments sake, called cvserver). * Created the repository (cvs init) o Created a cvs group and changed permissions on the CVSROOT dirs to chmod ug+rwx . CVSROOT * Imported a project (locally) * Uncommented the cvspserver and cvs entries in /etc/inetd.conf. * Created a passwd file in my CVSROOT directory. Created a user, and given him a password (dpoland:sQq3rK4jsA8pU). The password came from apg -y. The problem is I cannot connect to cvsserver from my 4.3-STABLE box (called devbox). On devbox I've set an environment variable as in: setenv CVSROOT pserver:dpoland@cvsserver:/usr/local/cvs Here I get the following messages: devbox% cvs checkout myproject pserver:dpoland@cvsserver's password: Permission denied, please try again. I try it three times and finally get: cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) I can telnet to cvsserver with: telnet cvserver 2401 and get... cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: foo when I enter "foo" The really puzzling thing is when I do a tcpdump on my devbox and try to catch some informative traffic. I see absolutely nothing! My devbox is not making any network connections to cvsserver. So, what process is asking me for my password? Do I have to configure something locally beside my CVSROOT environment? Many thanks for your assistance. -- Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
