Why? :ext: is generally consider superior to :pserver:, particularly when used with ssh rather than rsh. > My question is, whether it is enough just deleting .rhosts files and > opening port 2401 and making appropriate entries in startup scripts > without doing "cvs init" which creates CVSROOT. for moving to pserver > mode. Yes, the repository is independent of the method used to access it. In fact, you can leave the .rhosts files and continue to use :ext: in addition to :pserver: if you like. (Anyone running on the server machine could also access the repository directly rather than using any of the client/server methods.) And it's worth pointing out that init only creates CVSROOT if it doesn't already exist -- it's perfectly safe to use on an existing repository (in fact, it's recommended any time to upgrade to a new release of CVS) as it carefully preserves any existing administrative files. -Larry Jones It's clear I'll never have a career in sports until I learn to suppress my survival instinct. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
