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.

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 Elfyn [EMAIL PROTECTED]
