AFAIK services in (x)inetd aren't in listening until someone didn't try
to connect to them.
But i'm not so sure about it.

I have cvs pserver in inetd:

Consulente1:/etc/apt# grep cvs /etc/inetd.conf
# cvs pserver
cvspserver  stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/bin/cvs cvs
--allow-root=/usr/local/cvspserver


And it isn't listed in netstat:

Consulente1:/etc/apt# netstat -lnp|grep cvs
Consulente1:/etc/apt#


But it works for me when i try to connect to it:

Consulente1:/etc/apt# grep pserver /var/log/syslog.0
May 26 08:44:55 Consulente1 tcpspy[295]: connect: user root, local
10.1.6.60:cvspserver, remote 10.1.53.67:1207


Ah, i have a firewall on the server and i had to open pserver port:

Consulente1:/etc/apt# grep cvs /etc/shorewall/rules
# cvs
ACCEPT  loc $FW tcp cvspserver

Re: how to get cvs pserver working with xinetd?

[Andy Jones]

xinetd is a server which starts other server processes, such as
pserver, when it receives a request for them.  So you might not see
pserver all the time.

I assume that you cannot connect using pserver from a remote machine?

I think that if you post your xinetd script, and also tell us how you
tried to connect to CVS remotely (using what client?  What error
messages appeared?  Can you show us the CVS command line the client is
building?), someone here should be able to help you.

Ok, from your cvspserver file seems that you don't use TCP wrapper
application, but xinetd could have the TCP wrapper library linked. Try
the following command to check what is going on:

strace -f -o /tmp/zzz -p `ps ax |grep xinetd |grep -v grep |awk "{print $1}"`

(or just put the PID of your xinetd process after -p).

After that, look in /tmp/zzz and find the line that does
execve("/usr/bin/cvs", ...) and track what the process with that PID
does. If it opens the files mentioned above and closes the socket
shortly afterwards, this means you should add a cvs line into your
/etc/hosts.allow.

With kind regards,
Baurjan.

Well, for what it's worth I also run FC3, took your cvspserver file, 
popped it into my xinetd.d directory and restarted xinetd.  No 
problems here as you can see below.  I don't have it running but 
could FC3's SELinux be tripping you up if you have it running in 
"strict" mode?

Maybe but where does that comes from and how can I change it. My hosts
file are not used ( I am using xinetd not inetd ) and empty and the

I would say this looks like a TCP wrapper (/etc/hosts.allow,

You may have to put the line 'disable = no'[1] in /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver.
have you issued `service xinetd restart`, since setting up
/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver?

has the following link been of any help?

[1] For reasons I have forgotten, I believe there needs to be a tab between

I made a typo. server_args is:

the result is the same.

The line  in cvspserver service definition:

should be

 server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver

You need "pserver" not "server"

problem setting cvs pserver

[alex]

Hi all,
I am using fedora core 3,
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server)
xinetd Version 2.3.13 libwrap loadavg
and I am trying to set up a CVS pserver on my machine ( without any
security in mind at the moment):
my cvspserver file:
_
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot server
}
__
Other setting:
echo $CVSROOT
/usr/local/cvsroot/
which cvs
/usr/bin/cvs

but when I try to connect I always get:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/usr/local/cvsroot
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer

After viewing:
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.10/cvs_21.html#SEC184
I tried:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# telnet localhost 2401
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

To test my xinetd daemon I used my ftp server:
telnet localhost ftp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.1)
...

So I believe that xinetd is working properly, where can I go from here
to get cvspserver to work properly.
Any help welcome,
Alex

Moah yes... According to 3. above there is no service given for the block...
So, that's the reason why xinetd complains.

Some other comments:
1) You generally don’t need to include the service config in xinetd.conf,
but rather in its own file in /etc/xinetd.d/ (as you seem to do *also*)
2) You should not need the port assignment in your config... Given the
proper service directive and name, xinetd should be able to figure the port
number through nsswitch and friends.

cvs pserver problem and xinetd. connection refused

[matthias]

Hey guys,

these are the steps I've taken so far to run pserser in cvs 1.11.18 (redhat 9);
however, I always get the message:
"cvs [login aborted]: connect to ##address##(##address##):2401 failed:
Connection refused"

1. created $CVSROOT and exported it. repository is set to /cvs
2. initialized the repository with init
3. added following line to the /etc/xinetd.conf file so xinetd listens to port
2401 and knows to run command cvs pserver when it receives a connection:

{
port= 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
user= root
wait= no
type= UNLISTED
server  = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
disable = no
}

4. made sure /etc/services has the symbolic service name like below

cvspserver 2401/tcp
cvspserver 2401/udp

5. created file /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver containing the following service
cvspserver

{
port= 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
env = HOME=/cvs
server  = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
disable = no
}

6. restart xinetd
7. created file $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd with username:password in its
own line for every user.

When I run the following command "netstat -anp", I don't see "cvspserver"
running on 2401, there is nothing running on that port!

Lastly, I've looked at the /var/log/messages file and do not see
anything of use to me in this matter. There is absolutely nothing in
this file about cvspserver or pserver. The only thing I see is the
following when xinetd is restarted:

Jan 19 15:05:01 emobilebugzilla xinetd[8501]: missing service keyword [line=21]

If anyone has any sort of clue as to why this is happening please let
me know. Most importantly, if someone knows how to fix it I will be
extremely grateful. Thank you for your time.

Re: CVS pserver login problem

[milkfilk]

I banged my head on the wall on this "connection refused" problem.  The
default gentoo "emerge" throws an xinet.d/cvspserver config that just
needs:

only_from   = 192.168.1.0

Which represents my local subnet.  Without that, I could only telnet to
localhost on 2401.  It was strange and frustrating.  The default must
be 'localhost' if only_from isn't defined.
Not much anywhere on this.  Not even the CVS FAQ.

Sorry for the newbie question, but this issue keeps coming up. Our

If you can verify that the file is not being NFS mounted, then that
might be enough information. (I am assuming that it is NFS mounted and
that the mount point maps user root to user nobody which does not have
any access to the mounted filesystem).

If root has the ability to read that file, then the error message from
cvs:

 > cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from pglc8004: cvs
 > pserver: cannot open /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config: Permission
 > denied

does not make any sense at all. That message means that root is not able
to read one or more of the directories /pgfs3 /pgfs3/asic3
/pgfs3/asic3/users /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT
or the file /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config itself.

If the underlying mount point had bad permissions, then your userid
would not be able to read the file, so that is unlikely to be the
problem.

If user root is actually able to read the
/pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config file directly, then you will
probably need to do a bit more debugging (possibly as user root) to
determine the problem.

Of course, you could just forget about using :pserver: which is fairly
insecure and go to using :ext: and providing unique userids on pglc8004
for any user that needs access to this repository. (Hint: I am not a fan
of :pserver: and believe it to be insecure to ever have cvs run as user
root.)

I cannot login as root as I do not have root password. When I login to

I will have to check with my system administrator. If the root has the
file permission, what can the possible causes?

As user root, outside of cvs, are you able to read the file
/pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config while you are logged into host
pglc8004 ?

If the directory is NFS mounted, it is possible that root does not have
permissions to one or more of the intermediate directories leading to
the config file.

[cvs pserver] unrecognized auth response

[Hon Seng Phuah]

Hi all,

My system administor just set up a cvs pserver on a linux machine. The
configuration for x.inetd.d is:

service cvspserver
{
#   disable = no
   port = 2401
   socket_type = stream
   protocol = tcp
   wait = no
   user = root
   passenv = PATH
   server = /usr/bin/cvs
   server_args = -f --allow-root=/pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs pserver 
}

cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs login

cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from pglc8004: cvs
pserver: cannot open /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config: Permission
denied

I have the /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config and the
subdirectories in /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs set to 777 and had created
passwd and save in the /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd.

May anyone tell me what I have done wrong here and how to solve my
login problem? Thanks in advance.

Most modern systems keep the text in virtual memory until something else
needs the memory, but if you're concerned, you can always set the sticky
bit on the exectuable.

That could be a challenge since the code is completely untested in the
environment.  People have already reported problems sending multiple
commands over a single connection, let alone trying to server completely
unrelated users.

I suspect the size and how many pages of the program may be shared among
processes will depend on your hardware and operating system.

> Has anyone given a shot at writing some front-end code to let cvs stay
> in memory and serve up requests?  

There are multiple 'front-end' programs for cvs. Two of the most popular
are named xinetd and inetd.

As for your suggestion that cvs run as a long-lived daemon, it is not
written securly enough for that (honestly, it would need a redesign and
reimplementation to be even close to safe running as 'root' most of the
time, that rewrite is called 'svn' and may be fetched from
subversion.tigris.org) and in any case as it needs to protect ownership
and group permissions, so all of the work after the initial connection
would need to be handed to a forked copy of itself that changed
permissions in any case which would have to switch users and 'lose' its
ability to do the right thing with future connections without a lot of
redesign.

Of course, I admit that I would personally rather see :pserver: code
dropped entirely from cvs as I do not consider it safe to operate a
server in pserver mode. In my opinion, cvs should operate without trying
to do user authentication and primary access control should be handled
by the operating system on which cvs is running... so I may be a bit
biased on the subject of this thread.

Enjoy!

That's something I've wondered about... since cvs is run under xinetd,
the 500 KB binary gets loaded into memory each time a command comes in. 
Has anyone given a shot at writing some front-end code to let cvs stay
in memory and serve up requests?

This will not work as cvs does not itself bind to a particular port, but
assumes that stdin, stdout and stderr will be connected to the
appropriate place.

> or over
>   xinetd

This should work and should cause xinetd to be listening for connections
to port 2401. When such a connection is initiated, xinetd will set
stdin, stdout and stderr correctly for a newly created child cvs process
and continue to listen on port 2401 for any other new incoming
connections.

The cvs executable itself is not intended to be a long-running daemon.

In the first case, the cvs pserver is waiting for input from the
controlling tty from which it was initiated.

In the second case, my guess is that the xinetd is not properly
configured or that you have a /etc/hosts.deny or other similar tcp
wrapper configuration that is filtering all connections to 2401 into the
bit bucket before xinetd sees them.

> What can be the reason that "cvs pserver" isn't listening on port 2401?

Becase 'cvs pserver' never listens on any port. That is something to do
in xinetd or inetd and its interactions with either ipchains, iptables
or the use of a tcpd wrapper using hosts.allow and hosts.deny files.

> There is no blocking firewall or router involved.

By default, many systems block this stuff for you. I believe that Redhat
9 GNU/Linux may be one such that does. Look for hosts.deny and
hosts.allow files or an ipchains or iptables configuration as the most
likely cause of this problem.

You can't do that -- CVS doesn't run as a stand-alone server, it *must*
run under a superserver like inetd or xinetd.

Then your xinetd configuration likely wasn't correct.

Did you try nmap?  This should show the cvspserver on port 2401.  Do you
have any local firewall rules that might block the port?  I had a similar
problem when I setup my RedHat 9 machine as a server install.

cvs pserver not listening on port 2401

[Karl Lehnberger]

Following the recommendations on
  http://mia.ece.uic.edu/~papers/volans/setUpCVS.html
I set up a cvs environment on a RedHat9 Linux box (cvs-1.11.2-10).
But starting the cvs server either with
  cvs -f --allow-root=/space/cvs pserver&
or over
  xinetd
and then trying to connect from a client via
  telnet cvshost 2401
or
  cvs :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/space/cvs login
gives the error "connection refused" which means
that the cvs process isn't even listening on port 2401.
(verified with netstat)
In /var/log/messages I found
Jun  29 14:07:11 lll cvs: error setting KEEPALIVE: Socket operation on
non-socke
t
but the cvs server is running.
What can be the reason that "cvs pserver" isn't listening on port 2401?
There is no blocking firewall or router involved.

Before you consider that, you should read:

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_2.html#SEC32

2.9.3.3 Security considerations with password authentication 

The passwords are stored on the client side in a trivial encoding of the
cleartext, and transmitted in the same encoding. The encoding is done
only to prevent inadvertent password compromises (i.e., a system
administrator accidentally looking at the file), and will not prevent
even a naive attacker from gaining the password.

Re: CVS pserver login problem

All,

I made the changes you all suggested, and tried it from another machine. I 
was able to connect and get a message other than EOF (it was a refusal, but 
just means i need to double-check my pwd :-P )

So it is probably an issue with my firewall, even htough I thought I had
all the right ports open. Apparently I'm missing the ones I needed. 

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Did you telnet from the remote machine you're having problems with?  The
problem is almost certainly that your server is using some kind of
access control (probably the TCP wrappers library using /etc/hosts.allow
and/or /etc/hosts.deny files) that's not allowing access to CVS from the
remote machine.

RE: CVS pserver login problem

[Adam Vainder]

Peter,
 
Thanks for the link. I looked at what it said, especially the snippet 
:
 
"errors like "connection reset by peer", "received broken pipe signal", 
"recv() from server: EOF", or "end of file from server" typically indicate 
that inetd is listening for connections but is unable to start 
CVS (this is frequently caused by having an incorrect path in 
`inetd.conf' or by firewall software rejecting the connection). 
"
 
and tried the "telnet into port 2401" debug that they 
suggested. Unfortunately (well for this case), I got the "bad auth protocol" 
message, indicating that CVS is working correctly.
 
I'll check about firewall stuff this weekend, but it 
shouldn't be behind anything that would block CVS (its on a college campus 
that lets pretty much any protocol through). Maybe it's something on my end 
*shrug*. 
 
Any other ideas in the meantime?
 
Sorry to bug you guys with this, Ive been trying to figure 
it out solo for quite some time.

CVS pserver login problem

[Adam Vainder]

Hi, 

I hope this is the right place to send this. If not, please let me know 
where to send/post it. 

I've been trying to figure this out on my own for about a month, and just 
cant take it anymore. Hopefully one of you has seen this before and knows 
the answer.

I set up a pserver on a Red Hat 9 machine with CVS installed. From that 
machine, i have no problem using the pserver info to access the cvs server. 
But from a remote machine, I only get an "end of file" message if i try to 
log in. It happens whether password is correct or not. Any ideas what might 
be causing this?  

Thanks,

RE: CVS Pserver with multiple repositories?

[Gagneet Singh]

Title: Message



Hi!
 
This 
will work for the 2401 port. You are not required to supply different ports for 
different repositories. Only the permissions to the repositories need to be 
checked up and rectified, according to your needs. Also do not forget to create 
the 'cvsadmin' group which will give access to the CVS ADMIN commands to be 
run  either from the CVS command line or the CVS GUI.

Hi!
 
What you require is to define the server args string 
as:
 
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs/rep/casnav --allow-root=/cvs/repo/proj2 
--allow-root=/cvs/repo/proj2 pserver
 
And also create the required repositories for all the three projects. 
Also, you will have to create separate groups. 
 
The same can be done with your current setup also, but then the top 
level repository will have to have permission for all groups or rather 
anybody to access it. Thus, taking security in consideration, you need to 
have three different repositories with the permissions only for users of the 
group for whom that repository is meant for. You can thus set the 
permissions to 2770 for these three directories and put the directories with 
the username of the Project Leader or the Project Manager, so that only he 
can access the CVSROOT module for administrative 
purposes.
 
Hope this helps.

It works fine in the default port! No other port have to be open to serve
another repository.

hrm... cvs pserver debugging ctd.

[Peschko, Edward]

hrm. I see that it looks like the input is being taken from stdin *on purpose* when 
you are debugging pserver. 
I don't want that - I want to set up a client-server relationship, set CVSROOT, and 
have the commands talk to the pserver 
as they would in a networked environment.

Is there a flag to 'cvs pserver' to do this? I notice when you type:

cvs ---help pserver 

you get:

Usage: cvs pserver
 Normally invoked by a cvs client on a remote machine.

ie: its not being that helpful...

Re: Example of invoking "cvs pserver" from shell script

Hi,

I am using 11 repositories on my cvs server,
I had the same problem before. Solution:
Put this line into /etc/inetd.conf

cvspserver  stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/local/cvs/bin/runcvs

runcvs is shell script file (change the location according to your
installation, and chmod +x)
runcvs file:
-- copy here 
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/cvs/bin/cvs \
--allow-root=/repository1 \
--allow-root=/repository2 \

Which is exactly the problem I find myself in - the addition of our
sixth repository puts the command over the limit for our version of
inetd.  I was wondering if there were any examples anywhere of the
solution given in the manual.

Finally, are there any limitations on the number of repositories that
can be run from one CVS server?

Can't set-up passwd file on RedHat 8.0 cvs pserver

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

Did something change in the way the shadow passwords
are set-up under RedHat 8.0 from RedHat 7.3?

I am trying to create a password file for my repository 
on a new server running RedHat 8.0.  When I vi the
/etc/shadow file, my password looks like it has some
non-printing characters in it.  When I tried to copy it
into the cvs passwd file, my cursor keeps jumping
within the text string containing the password.

When I try to login to the cvs server from a shell on
the same machine, the cvs server rejects my login.

I am using the same procedure that worked under
RedHat 7.3.

Has anyone seen this?
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Neil.

CVS pserver problems

[irfan ali]

Hello, 

I am trying to connect to my remote CVS Repository on my linux machine under 
/home/cvs/repository using winCVS which is setup on my windows machine. I have taken 
care of /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files. I have also created passwd file under 
/home/cvs/repository/CVSROOT folder. Still I am not able to connect through winCVS. 

Can anyone tell me what could be wrong? Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Re: cvs pserver login problem

[lectrix]

no.
i'm afraid i had a typo (in my email).

cvs -d :pserver:www.symbion.at:2401/home login
or
cvs -d :pserver:www.symbion.at:/home login
should be the right syntax.

anyway, in the first case - with port - there must not be a second ":", 
otherwise i get
   lectrix@symbion home $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401:/home 
login
   cvs login: CVSROOT may only specify a positive, non-zero, integer port 
(not `2401:').
   cvs login: Perhaps you entered a relative pathname?
   cvs [login aborted]: Bad CVSROOT: 
`:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401:/home'.

so, the syntax was not my porblem.
that is strange, i couldn't really find any information on the web that can 
help me out, so didn't anybody has this before??

stefan.


should be the right syntax.

I figureed it out: First error was that the local directory wasn't empty, and

Problems setting up a CVS pserver

[Gek]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I set up my little pserver in a chroot environment (accoring to
http://www.unixtools.org/cvs/server-how-to.html) and added a code
repository and imported a module. But for some reasons I can't check
it out lateron. I have almost no experience with CVS (used SourceSafe
so far, but CVS seems to better fit my needs), so please be gentle
with my stupidity.

So I create a new repository:
:cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot-cmx init
:*CVS exited normally with code 0*

I import some files:
:cvs import -I ! -I CVS -W "*.attributes -k 'b'" -W "*.gif -k 'b'" -W
"*.jpg -k 'b'" -W "*.psd -k 'b'" -m "no message" cmx CMS beta
:N cmx/About.java
[snip some more files]
:No conflicts created by this import
:*CVS exited normally with code 0*

And finally I try to checkout the module again:
:cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot-cmx checkout -P cmx
:cvs checkout: in directory cmx:
:cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or
directory
:cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): No such file or directory
:*CVS exited normally with code 1*


What does the error message mean, and how can I get rid of it? There
is no CVS directory in the repository. When I create the repository,
I get a CVSROOT directory, but no CVS/Entries.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

I don't know what you think you're doing, but that is not correct
syntax.  You should have the CVS user name, a colon, then that user's
encrypted password, with no extra spaces.  You can follow that with
another colon and a system user to run as; if that's omitted, the CVS
user must also be a system user and CVS will run as that user.

Unable to log in to cvs pserver

[menuka]

Hi All,
 I 
have tried to set up cvs pserver.
In my repository , in the cvsroot directory
I have created a passwd file  to which i have added the following 
line
 
menuka: def
 
I am getting the following error message when i try to login to cvs 
server.
cvs login :authorization failed: server rejected 
access to /home/cvs/repository for user  menuka.
 
However if i delete the passwd file from CVSROOT directory (repository) and 
try to login to cvs server using my home account password, I am able to do 
so.
 
Can anybody tell me why I am not able to login to cvs server using the 
passwd file method?
 
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Menuka

That should probably be "cvspserver" rather than "cvs".

If "cvspserver" is defined as port 2401 in /etc/services, which it
should be, you don't need that line (although it doesn't hurt).

When running as root, the group is irrelevant and can be omitted.

You should have a -f in there, too.

That could be because of the missing -f in server_args.  If that doesn't
fix it, add "passenv = PATH" to your xinetd configuration.

> cvs server: cannot make path to /usr/local/cvsroot/testProject: Permission

That indicates that the user you're running as doesn't have write
permission in /usr/local/cvsroot.

Re: CVS pserver on RedHat 7.1 lets me login, but when I do import, it fails

[Olav Lindkjølen]

Something to do with cvs server running as root, inheriting the HOME 
environment variable. Create a user named "cvs" and run the server under 
that user. Or try this as root:

unset HOME
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart

CVS pserver on RedHat 7.1 lets me login, but when I do import, it fails

[Neil Aggarwal]

I am trying to set-up a CVS pserver on my RedHat 7.1 development machine.
I tried reading the CVS book at http://cvsbook.red-bean.com, but it
does not cover xinetd, so I tried to adapt it myself.

Here is what I did as root:
cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot init
/usr/sbin/useradd cvs
cd /usr/local/cvsroot
chgrp -R cvs .
chmod ug+rwx . CVSROOT

vi /etc/xinetd.d/cvs and added these lines:
service cvs
{
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
group = cvs
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver
type = UNLISTED
wait = no
}

Restarted xinetd:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

vi /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd
Added my login and password copied from from /etc/shadow

I then tried to test it by going to a shell with my user account.

I typed:
cvs -d :pserver:neil@localhost:/usr/local/cvsroot login
It asked me for my password and reported no errors, so I thought that
everything should be OK.

Next, I tried to import a new project, so I went to the
directory containing the project and typed:
cvs -d :pserver:neil@localhost:/usr/local/cvsroot import -m "Test Project"
testProject neil start

I got these error messages:
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs server: cannot make path to /usr/local/cvsroot/testProject: Permission
denied
cvs server: Importing /usr/local/cvsroot/testProject/src
cvs server: ERROR: cannot mkdir /usr/local/cvsroot/testProject/src -- not
added: No such file or directory

No conflicts created by this import

Any ideas why this is occurring?

Thanks,
Neil.

CVS pserver on RH 7.2 - any password is authenticated!

[Satheesh Babu]

Hello,

I usually use Mandrake 8 and pserver works peacefully there. At work, I
need  to install RH 7.2 for this and it is driving me nuts.

- stock CVS rpm
- pserver running from xinetd

When you login it actually gives an error if you give wrong userids...
But, if the userid is valid, you can give ANY password including none
and it authenticates! Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Our setup is for people using Win98 clients and who haven't even thought
about version control or UNIX things before. MS VSS was a candidate, but
a pain to automate using scripts.

If anyone knows some links to "proper and secure" CVS server setup on
Linux, that'd be great too.

Thanks in advance

It's supposed to be the UNobfuscated password, which is why it's logged
in AUTHPRIV, but there was a bug in the code.  You might want to try
applying the appended patch and trying it again.  If you're using MD5
passwords and you're using a pre-built CVS, it may be that it wasn't
linked against an MD5-enabled libc.

cvs pserver authorization failed

[James Garrison]

I've seen a number of threads about pserver authentication failure
for no obvious reason, and I'm getting the same errors.
 
> [jhg@janus jhg]$ cvs -d :pserver:jhg@localhost:/home/cvs/repository login
> Logging in to :pserver:jhg@localhost:2401/home/cvs/repository
> CVS password: 
> cvs login: authorization failed: server localhost rejected access to 
>/home/cvs/repository for user jhg

I was able to make it work by creating a passwd file in 
/home/cvs/repository/CVSROOT.  When I did that and then tried
it again:

> [jhg@janus jhg]$ cvs -d :pserver:jhg@localhost:/home/cvs/repository login
> Logging in to :pserver:jhg@localhost:2401/home/cvs/repository
> CVS password: 
> cvs login: failed to open /home/jhg/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory
> cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting

Hmm... different error message this time, let's create .cvspass and see 
what happens:

> [jhg@janus jhg]$ touch .cvspass 
> [jhg@janus jhg]$ cvs -d :pserver:jhg@localhost:/home/cvs/repository login
> Logging in to :pserver:jhg@localhost:2401/home/cvs/repository
> CVS password: 
> [jhg@janus jhg]$ 

How about that, it worked!

Summary:

It appears that on RH7.1 (kernel 2.4.9-6) at least, the current version
of CVS (cvs-1.11.1p1-cvshome.7x.1) has problems with remote
authentication.
Here are some example lines from /var/log/secure (SYSLOG/AUTHPRIV)
for previously failed login attempts.

> Nov 18 17:23:08 janus xinetd[826]: START: cvspserver pid=11253 from=127.0.0.1
> Nov 18 17:23:08 janus cvs: login failure by jhg / °´^W@°´^W@^P (for

> Nov 18 17:24:13 janus cvs: login failure by jhg / °´^W@°´^W@^P (for

The string after the / which I assume is supposed to be the obfuscated
password, doesn't match what's in the protocol stream:

RE: Problems running cvs pserver

excellent, and thanks .. i thought i tried this, but my work is using 1.10
and is reluctant to do all the testing to move ...

1.11p1 works nicely.

I fixed the autodetect code to deal with this before 1.11.1p1, I think.  It is
definately fixed in development.

In any case, compiling 1.11.1p1 with --without-gssapi should do the trick.

Heya Larry,
i have had another stab at it, and I still cannot build a pserver cvs that
works.

 ./configure --without-gssapi still leaves gssapi libs in the Makefile
and when i hack the configure script to leave off all of the gssapi stuff, I
get an exe that does not seem to work correctly. Telneting to 2401 replies
as it should, but doing a cvs login results in the cvs client waiting
permanently for something after i enter my password.

has anyone built cvs on Solaris without kerberos installed ??

Sir,

I have made a file in directory /etc/xinetd.d in the name cvspserver,

Can you just guide me what should be the contents of this file
cvspserver.OR Where can i get documentation for configuring pserver on

RE: Problems running cvs pserver

[Sven Dowideit]

I have this problem with cvs-1.10 (the one we are currently using in local
mode only) and with cvs 1.11p1 (that i am using as a comparison)

I think the easiest answer to the --help-comands question is that the newly
compiled cvs (either version) is able to do :local: and :ext: checkouts
fine, its only the pserver that is causing me pain.

when you say the Kerberos stuff is a mess, do you mean that everyone just
installs kerberos?

Re: Problems running cvs pserver

[Sven Dowideit]

mmm I also get this problem, and i am trying to build cvs without kerberos
support.
the problem is that server.c wants to include krb5.h and the Makefile always
seems to want to link in the kerberos libraries - that i don;t have
installed, and i don't want to install.

i run
./configure --disable-encryption --prefix=/opt/cvs --with-gssapi=no
and then server.c failes to build because it tries to include krb5.h

I comment out the
#define HAVE_GSSAPI 1
because that stops krb5.h form being included

it compiles fine,
and failes to build because Makefile wants to link with
-lgssapi_krb5
-lkrb5
-lcrypto
-lcom_err

all of which do not exist on my machine :)

this results in an exe that both supports and doesn't support pserver ;)

so, um, what am i doing wrong ?

I get the same response if I telnet to the port i.e.  The connection

Escape character is '^]'.
cvs pserver: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option

My question is: Why does the cvs pserver command require a CVSROOT variable
to be set if it gets this from the client connection?

Does that include a newline?  If you telnet to the port and hit return,
you should get:

   cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start:

If you don't, there's something wrong with your CVS executable.  I'd
suggest downloading the current version (1.11.1p1) from www.cvshome.org.

Problems running cvs pserver

[dreade]

Hi,

Here is the current status of my problem.

platform:  solaris 7
cvs version :  GNUcvs.1.10
  Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10 `Halibut' (client/server)

Installed using package downloads from  Ibiblio UNC.

cvs is installed and will run correctly in local mode. However we need it
to run as a password authenticated server.

We put the following in inetd.conf

 cvspserver stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs -f
--allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver

and added the appropriate entry in `/etc/services'

 cvspserver  2401/tc

We can telnet to the port and we can see that the cvs process is spawed
successfully

ps -ef | grep cvs
root 21066  1022  0 16:07:10 ?0:00 cvs -f
--allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver

However when we send any characters they are read and then ignored. Using
truss we can see that the process is just reading the input characters and
then sleeping.

When we use a CVS client to connect it just hangs after sending the
Authentication strings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Duncan.

pserver is not a separate program.  It is simply a command specified

You have to pass the username ($USER) explicitly from the loginfo file
-- that's why the example log.pl script has a -u option.  See the

CVS pserver

[Charles]

I'm new to this and am attempting to set up a 
pserver on a linux box which will service multiple windows machines running 
wincvs.
 
I have thus far installed cvs and created a 
repository.  I'm not sure how to actually get pserver listening on the port 
I'm using.  Any help on what command line needs to be added to what file 
would be greatly appreciated.  
 
From reading I found that the line goes to the 
inetd.conf file but I can't find it on RH7.0.
 
Thanks

Re: cvs pserver and knowing who did what

[Rob Helmer]

Hello,


Do the developers also have UNIX accounts? Then don't use the CVSROOT/passwd
file, I don't think there's any really good reason to use it.

It's easier to set up a phony shell that doesn't allow logins and use
the UNIX user account system if you don't want people logging into the
box.

Of course, if you don't have root or don't want to do this then you'll
have to wait for someone with more experience with loginfo to reply ;)



HTH,
Rob Helmer

Re: How to specify port with `cvs pserver'?

[Rob Helmer]

Hello,


Well, if I was using CVS from remote and SSH was installed on the
server side, and I had a UNIX account on the server side, I would set
these environment variables :

CVS_RSH=ssh
CVSROOT=:ext:user@host:/path/to/repository

Then do "cvs command".

If I wanted to use pserver for some reason, I would first make an
SSH tunnel :

ssh -L 2401:localhost:2401 user@host

Then use this CVSROOT:

CVSROOT=:pserver:user@localhost:/path/to/repository

The SSH tunnel makes it look like port 2401 ( the CVS port ) is
open on the local host. I usually use the first method, the second
method only requires that you enter your password once to open
the tunnel, and again to do "cvs login", while the first will ask
for your password everytime you do a CVS command.



HTH,
Rob Helmer

cvs pserver and knowing who did what

[Chris Niekel]

Hi,

At work I've installed cvs and we now have a cvs repository which all
developers access through the pserver. All accounts are mapped to the same
userid (so the CVSROOT/passwd file is user:passwd:cvsaccount for every
user).

When I use the loginfo method to automatically send mail about the commits,
the "Author" is always set to 'cvsaccount'. Is there any way to make this
the 'user' entry? 

I'm just using an example log.pl script, but I printed the environment
settings, and that also didn't have any knowledge of the 'user' name.

Any ideas?

Greetings,
Chris Niekel

How to specify port with `cvs pserver'?

[Kai Großjohann]

I can't access the outside directly, so I use port forwarding via
ssh.  So if I want to access two `cvs pserver' repositories, I have to
set up port forwarding with two different local ports, right?  I guess
that means I need to specify the port on the remote host when doing

cvs -d :pserver:user@host:/path/to/repository command

How do I do that?

Sorry I wasn't more specific about that.  If I remember correctly, the CVS
server would refuse client connections.

Exactly.  Apparently, that's a RH 7.0 'behavior'.  Tomorrow, I'll look at
the cvspserver xinetd file again, maybe I found out how to explicitly unset
environment variables (and don't remember how I did it). ;->

As always, thanks for your time, Larry.

What do you mean by "didn't work"?  It may well be that you're
inheriting a bogus value of HOME from xinetd, in which case you need to
explicitly unset it.  (And no, I don't have any idea how to do that;
perhaps someone who knows something about xinetd can help.)

I tried *not* setting HOME, but it didn't work on RH 7.0.  The HOME setting
seems to fix this problem (with RH 7.0 xinetd).  Unless this behavior of RH
7.0 has been fixed.  If that's the case, then 'nevermind'.  :)

Here's the /etc/xinet.d/cvspserver set up that I'm using now:
http://pgmjsd.weblogs.com/stories/storyReader$17

BTW, sometimes the CVS processes on the Linux box seem to get 'zombified'.
Any ideas?  I noticed this happens more often when the local SMTP server
dies.

"Connection refused" means that the server machine isn't listening for
connections on the cvspserver port, which implies that there's something
wrong with your xinetd configuration; check your syslog for error
messages and follow the debugging steps in the manual:

Do not set HOME!  Make sure it is *not* set and CVS will figure it out
correctly for each user.

RH 7.0, cvs pserver not working

[Ginger Ellsworth]

hello -

I'm running Red Hat 7.0 and CVS 1.11.  CVS works fine locally but I cannot
get pserver to work.  The error message from a Windows 2000 client is:

$ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs login
(Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to 192.168.1.134:2401 failed: Connection
refused

Both of these postings refer to a similar problem:
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs/2000-December/011394.html
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs/2001-March/013146.html

I have the line:
cvspserver  2401/tcp
in my /etc/services file.

I have created the file /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver with content:
service cvspserver
{
flags   = REUSE
instances   = 25
disable = no
protocol= tcp
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= root
group   = cvsusers
env = HOME=/cvs
passenv =
server  = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
log_on_success  += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure  += USERID
}
and I have rebooted the machine to re-initialize the cvspserver service.

Thank you for any help!!
Ginger

You might want to use inetd. You can run this as a normal user
too. You do not need root privileges to run inetd with a cvs pserver.

I am going to run a cvs pserver with about 40 repositories, which for
some reasons need to be completely distinct, I ran into the problem
that most inetd implementations limit the number of parameters.

For that reason I hacked a standalone cvs pserver, which currently is
a wrapper around normal cvs derived from a port of OpenBSD inetd to
Linux by Thorsten Kukuk.

If you want to test it, you can get it from
http://webrum.uni-mannheim.de/math/rschiele/cvspserver/

It currently supports Linux (tested on glibc 2.1 and 2.2), but might
as well work on other systems (with some changes).

There is some short description in the source file. If it is not
understandable, feel free to contact me.

Further plans are to make a patch against normal cvs to make it
support this functionality directly.

Feedback is welcome.

Robert
