Hi! I had mentioned in my earlier letter that I was unable to connect to the CVS Server, as I could not find the 'inetd.conf' file. Thanx for the help on that, but I shall have to trouble you again in the following form. What can be the trouble?
Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr 9 2002, 19:34:33) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 CVSROOT: user@LinuxServer:/src/master/cvstest (password authentication) cvs login Logging in to :pserver:user@linuxserver:2401/src/master/cvstest cvs [login aborted]: connect to LinuxServer(LinuxServer):2401 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. *****CVS exited normally with code 1***** Could it be as I have as yet not made the 'passwd' file in /src/master/cvstest/CVSROOT? If so, could you please guide me as to how to do this and specially about how to put in the encrypted passwords. Also I read mentioned someplace that the users for CVS cannot be the same as those of the users on the *nix CVS Server machine. Is this true? If so what is the solution for this?

Here's what I had to do: First, you need to check that port 2401 is active for "cvspserver". Go to /etc/services to check. In my file, I had listed cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS client/server operations cvspserver 2401/udp # CVS client/server operations If this isn't there, I believe you can edit the file to include it (but I didn't have to do this). Then, you need to tell xinetd to use cvspserver. Go to /etc/xintd.d and copy one of the existing files to "cvspserver" in the same directory. Edit it to read something like this (server reflects where cvs is installed, and server_args is where your CVSROOT is): { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root passenv = PATH server = /usr/bin/cvs server_args = -f --allow-root=/var/cvswell pserver } Once you've saved that file, then type the following at the prompt: chkconfig cvspserver on You can check that it is working by typing: chkconfig --list |grep pserver And it should list that cvspserver is on. After I did all this, WinCVS connected just fine.
