I am using cvs with the file repository on the machine in my office. I would like to be able to manipulate these files from the machine at home. Both are running Debian Linux and both have the cvs package installed.
The machine at home will communicate via a PPP connection and will have a dynamically assigned IP number and name. I would much prefer to use the pserver authentication for cvs tranfers instead of rsh because I don't want to put all the possible dynamic addresses into a .rhosts file. I set up the cvspserver line in my /etc/inetd.conf file as follows. cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs pserver When I try the login procedure, all I get is $ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/CVS login (Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from franz.stat.wisc.edu: E Fatal error, aborting. Does anyone know what the responses from the server should be if I telnet directly to that port? (I can always read the sources but asking readers of this list is a lot easier :-) Alternatively, has anyone set up kerberos on a Debian Linux system and used the kserver method for cvs authentication? Other machines in my department use kerberos authentication so it may be best for me to install kerberos on both machines.
