That's a bug in 1.11.1p1 -- it's been fixed in the development version
for quite a while.

problems with cvs login

[Michael P. Soulier]

Hey people. Apparently, cvs' attempt to create a $HOME/.cvspass file is
either failing for some reason, or it's not attempting it at all. 

[carsnau@tabmow carsnau]$ cvs login 
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/usr/local/cvs
CVS password:
cvs login: failed to open /home/carsnau/.cvspass for reading: No such file or
directory
cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting
[carsnau@tabmow carsnau]$ echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvs
[carsnau@tabmow carsnau]$

There's nothing wrong with the permissions in my home directory. If I do a
touch $HOME/.cvspass, the problem goes away. Does cvs not create this file as
needed?

Thanks,

Mike

pserver is broken in 1.10.6 -- update (at least the server) to the
latest interim release (1.10.8) from www.cyclic.com.

Problems with cvs login

[Robert B. Andrews]

Sorry if this is a bit long.

I am having problems just logging into cvs:

  (cvsusr) /usr/local/cvs/repos-1/CVSROOT: cvs -d
:pserver:cvsusr@localhost:/usr/local/cvs/repos-1 login
  (Logging in to cvsusr@localhost)
  CVS password:
  cvs [login aborted]: received broken pipe signal

The entire tree /usr/local/cvs is rw by group cvsgrp, of which cvsusr is a
member.  In
/usr/local/cvs/repos-1/CVSROOT/passwd, I created an entry for cvsusr, and put in

a copy of the encrypted password created elsewhere (works for unix login), the
uid
for cvsusr is > 500, and the home directory is /usr/local/cvs.

I have cvs version 1.10.6, RedHat 6.1, kernel 2.2.14.

Has anyone had this type of problem?

Thanks in advance.

Bob
