Looks to me like: server_args = cvs -f --allow-root=/var/projects/webv1/cvsroot should become: server_args = -f --allow-root=/var/projects/webv1/cvsroot pserver ,John -----Original Message----- From: Zen Center Computer Support Sent: Mon 4/8/2002 12:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: pserver configuration Hello. I am having trouble starting up cvs for direction connections from clients using xinetd on Red Hat 7.2. I orginally tried to one-line entry suggested in the CVS documentation: 2401 stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=/var/projects/webv1/cvsroot pserver but received the error message from xinetd that the service keyword was missing. Next, I set up a standard service entry: service pserver { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp port = 2401 wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/cvs server_args = cvs -f --allow-root=/var/projects/webv1/cvsroot } Using this entry, the service starts successfully. However, when I attempt to connect from a client, I get the error "unknown command: cvs". If I remove the cvs text from the server_args entry, I get the "usage" error. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks. Josh Fitzgerald San Francisco Zen Center __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
