Thanks for the suggestion. I upgraded my CVS client to 1.11.4. cvs
still
hangs, but at a different place -- during a call to wait():
$ export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
$ strace cvs -t -f -d<IP addr>:/path/to/cvs/repos version
(much text omitted)
write(4, "UseUnchanged\n", 13) = 13
write(4, "Global_option -t\nversion\n", 25) = 25
read(5, "M ", 4096) = 2
read(5, "Concurrent Versions System (CVS)"..., 4096) = 58
write(1, "Server: Concurrent Versions Syst"..., 66Server: Concurrent
Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)
) = 66
read(5, "ok\n", 4096) = 3
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
close(4) = 0
munmap(0x40018000, 4096) = 0
fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
close(5) = 0
munmap(0x40019000, 4096) = 0
wait4(7090,
Because my ssh connection has been working seemlessly between
the client and server machines, I did not suspect that it
could be the cause of the problem. Nevertheless, I checked
the versions of openssh that I was running on the client
and the server. Because they were different, I upgraded
the version I am running on the client machine to match
the version that I am running on the server machine.
This solved the problem. cvs now works regardless of
whether I use cvs 1.11.4 or cvs 1.11.1p1 as the client.
For future reference to anyone else who might have this
problem, I was running openssh 2.9p2 on my client machine,
while running openssh 3.1p1 on my server machine. The
"cvs problem" disappeared when I upgraded openssh on my
client machine to 3.1p1.
