CVS pserver problems
Hi, I have been through this list with a fine toothpick and comb, but it has not solved my problem. I have one RedHat 6.1 box and cvs-1.10.6 I am running pserver from inetd.conf and every thing is cool. cvspserver is on port 2401/tcp. I have one Caldera eServer 2.3 box that had cvs-1.10.6 but I could not get it working, so I compiled and installed cvs-1.10.8 as per one of the postings here. Now when I try and log in I cvs hangs on the server side. Below is a snippet from inetd -d. ADD : cvspserver proto=tcp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=root.(null) builtin=0 server=/usr/bin/cvs someone wants cvspserver accept, ctrl 3 24874 execl /usr/bin/cvs Why is it running OK on RedHat but not on Caldera ?? Any suggestions, as usual gratefully recieved. Robert
Cvs pserver problems
Howdy, I've had a nice repository and pserver setup going for a while now, but then my server was upgraded and it doesn't work anymore. Whenever I try to do any checkouts of any kind it give me one of two errors (depending on how I set the inetd.conf line). 1) can't setuid: operation not permitted 2) can't open /root/.cvsignore: Not permitted can't chdir(/root): Not permitted I don't run cvs pserver as root (and don't want to) (and didn't in the past). So I assume I'm not setting something right and it's still thinking it's running as whatever user I tell it to (in inetd.conf) but for some reason it doesn't recognize the home directory correctly... I'm stumped, and any help would be appreciated. I can get more specific as to settings and whatnot if it's necessary. Thanks, Chris

If you don't run pserver as root, then it can't change user to the actual cvs user (that's why you get "can't setuid: operation not permitted"). If that's really the way you want to run, then you have to have a CVSROOT/cvspasswd file that maps all your users to the user you're running pserver as from inetd (and you can't use the system password file). The second problem can be fixed by adding a -f global option to the pserver command in inetd.conf unless you're running on a Linux system that has $HOME set in the environment of things run from inetd -- in that case, you have to arrange to unset $HOME: you can change inetd.conf to run a shell script that unsets the variable and then runs cvs, or you can use env to run cvs with a pristene environment. -Larry Jones Mom must've put my cape in the wrong drawer. -- Calvin
