hi...
New to cvs and redhat 8.0. trying to install a cvs server on redhat 8.0
server. I have the following rpms installed:
sendmail-8.12.5-7
sendmail-cf-8.12.5-7
cvs-1.11.2-5
I'd like to be able to configure the server for both password and anonymous
access if possible.... (but I'll take what I can get!)
I used the following procedure as a guide to install/configure the server:
edited "/etc/services" to include the line:
==>services:cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS protocol server
edited "etc/inetd.conf" to include the following lines :
==># Allow CVS to be accessed as server in a client/server relationship
==>cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs
cvs -f -l --allow-root=/raid/cvsroot
(I DO NOT HAVE THIS. IT SEEMS THAT I DO HAVE "xinetd.conf". I DIDN'T MAKE
THIS CHANGE)
created a new user as "cvs"
created a new group as "cvs"
created a repository directory as "/root/cvsroot"
changed the folder permissions for "cvs"
ran the following command:
cvs -d /root/cvsroot init [return]
ran the following command:
cvs -d /root/cvsroot checkout CVSROOT [return]
modified the CVSROOT/config file:
# Set this to "no" if pserver shouldn't check system users/passwords
SystemAuth=no
# Set `PreservePermissions' to `yes' to save file status information
# in the repository.
PreservePermissions=no
# Set `TopLevelAdmin' to `yes' to create a CVS directory at the top
# level of the new working directory when using the `cvs checkout'
# command.
TopLevelAdmin=yes
created /root/CVSROOT/passwd by copying/modifying the /etc/passwd file
==> root:x:cvs
==> test:x:cvs
==> steview:x:cvs
Run the commands
cvs -d /raid/cvsroot add /root/CVSROOT/passwd [return]
cvs -d /raid/cvsroot commit /root/CVSROOT [return]
(the 2nd command returned the following.....)
[test@lserver2 test]$ cvs -d /home/cvsroot commit /root/CVSROOT
cvs [commit aborted]: /home/cvsroot/CVSROOT: Permission denied
At this point I realize that I'm lost...
Can anyone point me to documentation that would guide me through the process
of setting up a CVS server on a Redhat 8.0 machine....
I've tried to review the cvshome.org docs, but I haven't come across the
right section for actually installing the CVS server.... I've performed
searches through google, but i've seen different pieces of information....
I can't afford to screw this up!!!
Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks
