Need help with inetd.conf file

2001-04-30 Thread Aram Ter-Martirosyan

I am trying to run cvs 1.11 on RedHat 6.2 server and getting the
classical error described in the Troubleshooting section of the
documentation

cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied cvs [server
aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied 
then either you haven't specified `-f' in `inetd.conf' or your system is
setting the HOME environment variable for programs being run by inetd. In
the latter case, you can either have inetd run a shell script that unsets
HOME and then runs CVS, or you can use env to run CVS with a pristine
environment. 


I tried all of that, but nothing is working.  Running a shell script and
unsetting the HOME causes the cvs server to close as soon as I try to login.
Can someone help me?
Is their anybody know what to do?

Thanks

Chrooted SSH CVS server HOW-TO - DRAFT version - R20010423

2001-04-30 Thread Olivier Berger

Hello, fellow CVS administrators.

I'd like to announce the availability (first public release, on
http://www.idealx.org) of a new HOW-TO published under the GNU FDL.

This document describes the steps necessary to setup a very
network-secure CVS server, allowing SSH access to chrooted CVS
repositories. 

Using this strategy, it is possible to have multiple repositories on the
same server, each one in its own protected directory tree (chrooted),
and with respective access privileges thanks to SSH. 

The use of SSH (with CVS_RSH) as a transport mechanism for CVS (instead
of having a CVS pserver and SSH tunneling between client and server)
allows much more secure and flexible use on the client side (provided
SSH is installed, of course). 
The shell accounts necessary for SSH to run are disabled in order to
allow only remote access to CVS. 
Both read-only (and even anonymous, i.e. with a known password or even
no password at all) and read-write access can be granted, depending on
the user accounts.


The HOWTO's package, release R20010423 (including DocBook source for the
HOWTO, small scripts (alpha stage) and necessary source code) can be
found from http://www.idealx.org/prj/idx-chrooted-ssh-cvs/index.en.html

For those wishing to consult the howto in HTML form, please go to :
http://www.idealx.org/prj/idx-chrooted-ssh-cvs/dist/chrooted-ssh-cvs-server.html


Standard disclaimer :
The elements described in this HOW-TO have been tested in order to
ensure maximum safety. But as usual, we cannot guaranty that every
aspects were sufficiently examined or tested. YOU MAY FOLLOW THE
GUIDELINES AND USE THE TOOLS DESCRIBED HERE ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Neither the authors nor their company should be liaible for any loss of
data or other potential damage resulting from using the methods or tools
described here. Due to the risks of misconfiguration resulting from the
various manuel configuration steps necessary to setup such a server, we
recommand that you carefully test your installation before connecting
the server to the Internet and let user store their data in the CVS
repositories.


I welcome any comments regarding this Document and associate tools, and
would be happy to get feedback if you found it useful in order to setup
your own CVS server.

Best regards.

Problems with binary files on Solaris 2.7

2001-04-30 Thread Voigt, Ulrich

Hello,

I have problems to work with binary files using cvs under Solaris 2.7 cvs
1.9. 
I add binary files via cvs add -kb filename and cvs commit filename. After
changing the binary file I try to do cvs commit again, but now I get the
error message 

new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
Binary files /tmp/da004cc and /tmp/T2a004cb differ
ci: /export/home/uli/cvsrepository/cvstest/bin/bintest,v: diff failed
ci aborted
cvs commit: could not check in bintest

It is amazing, but if I use a text file and mark it as binary with -kb,
everything works fine. 
Do I use the wrong version of diff? I couldn't find an answer in the CVS
manuals and CVS-FAQ.

Any help appreciated! Thanx
Ulrich Voigt

It does make check, but not make remotecheck.  Perhaps we should think
about revising the testing targets; something like changing the current
check to localcheck and then adding a new check that does both
localcheck and remotecheck.

CVS 1.11.1p1 diff bug fix (was Re: CVS 1.11.1 release.)

 Derek,

  Actually, I'm pretty certain that the server is the only one that needs to be 
upgraded

in
  the NEWS file, but I wasn't positive.  I know that the reverse is true - upgrading
  just the client doesn't fix the bug.

 Ahh... interesting... and probably next-to-impossible for me to do... the
 sysadmin folks are VERY conservative.  Hmmm... I'll see.

 Thanks for the update.

Sorry.  The server is simply where the diffing happens.  It keeps bandwidth usage low
though.  This was a particularly annoying bug which was around forever and it used to
generate bug reports all the time.  It probably still will for awhile until a lot of 
people
upgrade.  I tell you in case it helps convince your admins.

Karl Tomlinson and Jacob Burckhardt probably deserve some mention in the NEWS for their
work fixing this - I'm sorry I forgot.  I'm cc'ing info-cvs and bug-cvs instead.

Others might be interested in the rest of this discussion too.

This makes sense.

 I tell you in case it helps convince your admins.

Shortly after I wrote that note to you I realized that there are RH7 RPMS 
available, so it may not be an issue at all.  The server in question is
entirely RPM-based, so things are only added when the RPMs are available.
Kudos to you all for making those available promptly.

Thanks to everyone for continuing to build such a great product.

Regards,
Dan

P.S. And while I'm sending this message, any day that someone could add
a 'cvs tags' command so that we could see the list of all tags used in the
current repository, it would really be a fantastic addition.  That's the one
thing that I get the most questions about from folks.

Where did you get those patches?  The problem is almost certainly bad
code of some sort.  If you have PreservePermissions enabled in your
CVSROOT/config file, that could explain the problem: that code is
notoriously buggy and should not be enabled.  It's also possible that

You add files to that directory to add services: create a file

commit, etc... However, when I tried to add the first directory to 
the repository as user 'tvolkert', it made me owner of that directory 
(user 'tvolkert', group 'tvolkert').  That being the case, no other 
users could run a 'cvs checkout fs' because they had no permissions 
on that dir.  Here's the error msg.

.
cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for 
`/usr/local/share/cvs/fs/test' 
(/usr/local/share/cvs/fs/test/#cvs.lock): Permission denied

cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository 
`/usr/local/share/cvs/fs/test'

cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
.

What am I missing???

Thanks in advance for your help,
-T

The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.

Any other ideas?

SCC complient interface

2001-04-30 Thread Lenng, Helen


Hi,

We'd like to try to integrate our SQL development tool, Cast Workbench,
with CVS.  Cast supposedly can integrate w/ anything that 
provides an SCC complient interface on Windows (they say they
can integrate w/ PVCS and Clearcase).

Does CVS provide an SCC complient interface on Windows?
Thanks for any help.
