Hi,
How do I know whether the binaries available for download from www.cvshome.org are compiled with with pserver support?
Why this stupid question? Because on our Sun machine we have already a cvs but without this support. When I try to do cvs-login from my PC it tells me:
-------------- vvvvvvvv
$ echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:sberka@yurtle:/usr1/test/CVS
$ cvs login
(Logging in to sberka@yurtle)
CVS password:
cvs.exe [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from yurtle: cvs pserver: No
CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
------------- ^^^^^^^^
or when I try to telnet host 2401 it replies:
------------ vvvvvvvvvvvvv
$ telnet yurtle 2401
Trying 180.9.200.18...
Connected to yurtle.poptal.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
cvs pserver: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [pserver aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
Connection closed by foreign host.
------------- ^^^^^^^^^
and I was told this means that the cvs I'm trying to use is compiled w/o pserver support.
I appreciate someone to help with this. CVS is really good but we need all to be able to connect to it. Rsh has all these problems with DHCP.
