I am trying to setup a CVS server on a Fedora Core 8 Linux box.
In order to enable the cvs pserver, I basically modified /etc/xinetd.d/
cvs to contain:
service cvspserver
{
disable = no
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = cvsroot
passenv =
server = /usr/bin/cvs
env = HOME=/home/cvsroot
server_args = --allow-root=/home/cvsroot -f pserver
log = /var/log/cvslog
id = cvspserver
# bind = 127.0.0.1
}
I also configured the firewall to allow both tcp and udp on port 2401
(cvspserver).
I also created in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT the password file, passwd.
On the Windows (XP) client, I added the environment variables;
LOGNAME = joeshmoe
CVSROOT = :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvsroot
I then try to do cvs login from the client:
~> cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/home/cvsroot
CVS password:
But when I type the password (which I triple-verified!), cvs login
simply fails:
cvs.exe [login aborted]: connect to 192.168.0.2(192.168.0.2):2401
failed: Connection timed out
My questions is: How do I troubleshoot such a problem? How do I know
why it failed and how to fix it?
BTW, I tried telnet 192.168.0.2 2401 but all I receive in response is:
Connecting To 192.168.157.2...Could not open connection to the host,
on port 2401: Connect failed
What does this mean? Is it possible that something totally unrelated
to cvs blocks this connection? SELinux perhaps? How do I find out?
Thanks,
Joe
