CVS screwing up Word documents
Hello: We checked in several Word documents into our CVS. When we check them out, Word gives an error when trying to open them. We have: *.doc -k 'b' in our cvswrappers file in our CVSROOT.

Yes, we are using cygwin to tunnel the cvs thru ssh. Do you know how to work around this? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, JAMM Consulting, (972)612-6056, www.JAMMConsulting.com FREE!

RE: remote cvs access - recommendations
Pete: We were able to set up cvs access thru ssh. It gives us a secure and simple solution. Here is what we did: SERVER SETUP (We use Linux) You must be able to ssh to the server without it asking for you to accept the host key or ask you for a password. Login to the cvs server as root and make sure these lines are in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys If you changed this file, restart the server by typing: /etc/init.d/sshd restart WINDOWS CLIENT SETUP On windows, you will need the cygwin utilities with openSSH and cvs installed. On the windows machine, open the cygwin command shell and type: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Login to the server to ensure that it does not ask you to accept the host key. Exit the ssh session. cd .ssh ssh-keygen -t rsa This will generate keys for ssh. Since you need to generate a key without a password, hit return on all of the inputs. sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Login and type the following commands: mkdir .ssh cd .ssh put id_rsa.pub authorized_keys quit Exit the sftp session ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Login and type the following commands cd .ssh chmod 700 . chmod 0600 * exit You should now be able to login to the server without it asking for a password. Now, you can use your favorite CVS client. When you set it up, you will need to use an external connection method, set the CVS_RSH variable to the full path to the ssh.exe file from cygwin and set the cvs client to the cygwin executable. Let me know if you need any additional help. Thanks, Neil. -- Neil Aggarwal, JAMM Consulting, (972)612-6056, www.JAMMConsulting.com FREE!

How to set-up CVS server on RedHat 7.1 to use from Netbeans?
Hello: I have the following development environment: Dell Laptop Windows 2000 JDK 1.3 Netbeans 3.2 I need to share a project with several developers that are remotely located. Therefore, I am thinking of setting up a CVS server on a RedHat 7.1 machine that I have for development. Since it is is our colo space, it will be remotely accessible. I started to look at the CVS web site and got horribly confused as most of the docs talk about using a server, not how to set it up. If I go to the server, it already has the CVS RPM installed, rpm -q cvs yields cvs-1.11-3 So, all I need to do is to figure out how to set it up so I can checking my existing source files from Netbeans on my laptop. Also, I have seen a lot of projects on sourceforge using CVS over SSH, which I think is a great idea. Unfortunately, this is a non open-source project so I cant use sourceforge. I already have sshd running on the server, but will netbeans on my laptop recognize it?

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

Authorization failed when trying to do an import
Olav:
I started over and now I am getting a different error message.
Here is what I did:
cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot init
/usr/sbin/useradd cvs
cd /usr/local/cvsroot
chown -R cvs.cvs .
chmod ug+rwx . CVSROOT
vi /etc/xinetd.d/cvs and added these lines:
service cvs
{
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = cvs
group = cvs
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver
type = UNLISTED
wait = no
}
Restart xinetd:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
vi /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd
Added a line with my user name and password:
neil:[password]
Where the password is copied from /etc/shadow
Make sure the cvs user is a member of the cvs group:
/usr/bin/gpasswd -a cvs cvs
Also, added myself to the cvs group:
/usr/bin/gpasswd -a neil cvs
I went to test it by logging in as myself (in another shell) and typing:
cvs -d :pserver:neil@localhost:/usr/local/cvsroot login
It asked for me password and reported no errors, so I assume the login
was OK.
I then went to import a new project by typing:
cvs -d :pserver:neil@localhost:/usr/local/cvsroot import -m "Test" test JAMM
start
setgid failed: Operation not permitted
cvs import: authorization failed: server localhost rejected access to
/usr/local/cvsroot for user neil
I dont understand this. If I look in the /etc/groups file, I see:
cvs:x:511:neil,cvs
If I go to /usr/local/cvsroot, the permissions are:
# pwd
/usr/local/cvsroot
# ls -la
total 12
drwxrwxr-x3 cvs cvs 4096 Jan 27 09:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 29 root root 4096 Jan 27 09:53 ..
drwxrwxr-x3 cvs cvs 4096 Jan 27 09:56 CVSROOT
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Neil.

stunnel not picking up arguments
Hello: I am trying to set-up a stunnel for my CVS pserver on my RedHat 7.1 box. Everything is working fine with the CVS pserver. I tried to type this command manually: stunnel -d 22401 -l /usr/bin/cvs -- --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver As I understand it from the man page, everything after the first -- will be taken as arguments to the command after the -l argument. But, if I look in /var/log/messages, I get these messages: Jan 27 15:18:09 dev stunnel[28510]: Using '--allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver' as tcpwrapper service name Jan 27 15:18:09 dev stunnel[28510]: stunnel 3.13 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu PTHREAD+LIBWRAP Jan 27 15:18:09 dev stunnel[28511]: Cannot create pid file /var/run/stunnel.--allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver.pid Jan 27 15:18:09 dev stunnel[28511]: Create: No such file or directory (2) Any ideas?

pwd_mkdb for Linux?

Can't connect to CVS SSH pserver
Eivind:
I am trying to follow the instructions posted at
http://www.prima.eu.org/tobez/cvs-howto.html
to set up a CVS pserver tunnelled over SSH.
My server is Linux, so I adapted the server configuration
from the instructions. I am attaching the commands that
I executed in case you need them as a reference.
I am using a Windows 2000 machine as a client.
It has the cygwin package with perl, regex, cvs, and ssh installed on it.
To test the configuration, I went to a DOS prompt,
changed the directory to C:\cygwin\bin, and executed
this command:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 2401:dev.jammconsulting.com:2410 open
I got these messages:
Could not create directory '/home/Neil Aggarwal/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host 'dev.jammconsulting.com (204.130.252.205)' can't be
established.
RSA key fingerprint is 77:12:5a:f6:36:c3:40:e7:e8:cc:69:f4:31:7b:f9:13.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/Neil
Aggarwal/.ssh/known_hosts).
/tmp/filexbkPbz
I checked on the server and there is this file in /tmp
prw---1 cvs cvs 0 Jan 31 23:33 filexbkPbz
I then loaded another DOS prompt, changed the directory to c:\cygwin\bin,
and executed:
cvs -d :pserver:neil@localhost:/testproject login
I got this message:
(Logging in to neil@localhost)
CVS password:
When I typed in the password, I get this message:
cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server localhost: Connection reset by peer
Can you offer any help?
Thanks,
Neil.

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