Elfwyn, Thanks for the speedy reply! Based on some of the other posts in the mailing list, I was indeed expecting to see some sort of prompt when I telnetted.
If I try the cvs -d :pserver:USER@SERVER:/path/to/cvsroot login' command as you suggested, I get prompted for the login id and password (which are subsequently rejected), but that's another problem in and of itself... So it looks like my setup was correct after all.

If I do a "telnet localhost 2401", I get "connected to > [computername] Escape character is '^]'. > Connection closed by foreign host" When you telnet to port 2401 (the pserver) your not supposed to actually get a login prompt like telnet or ftp gives you. 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] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
