This can 
happen in the case you have not created the cvspserver file on your server. 
If you are using Red Hat systems after distribution 7.2, then you are 
required to put this file in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. The format of this 
file is..
 

service 
cvspserver
{
    
disable  = 
no
    
id 
    
= cvspserver
    
env   
= HOME=/home/cvs
    
socket_type  = 
stream
    
protocol   
= tcp
    
port  
= 2401
    
wait  
= no
    
user  
= root
    
passenv    
= PATH 
    
server   
= /usr/bin/cvs
    
server_args   = -f 
--allow-root=/cvs/versions pserver
}
 
The repository root is denoted by the 
line:
  
server_args   = -f 
--allow-root=/cvs/versions pserver
 
 in the 
above mentioned file.

Check your syslog for the DAEMON facility for messages from CVS. 
They'll give you more information about what the actual problem is.

You want to check for messages from CVS itself, not inetd.

When this happens, the server should log a message under the DAEMON
facility that says either "login refused for " (which
indicates that the specified repository isn't valid) or "login failure
(for )" (which indicates that either the username or
passwordisn't valid).  In the later case, if your system has an AUTHPRIV
facility, it will also log a message there containing the username and
password.  Since it looks like the specified repository exactly matches
the --allow-root= option in inetd.conf, I'd say either the username or
password isn't right: are you using a $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file or
system authorization?

Try su'ing to cvsusergroup and running CVS in local mode to be sure that
works; do something innocuous like checking out CVSROOT.  That way
you'll know the permisions aren't screwing things up.

Those are encrypted passwords, not plain text passwords, right?

Note that that's a inetd message and has nothing to do with your login
problem.  Most likely it means that you restated inetd very shortly
after killing it so that the system still had the existing sockets
around to handle any late packets from remote systems.  Since inetd
seems to be working fine, it must have dealt with the errors
appropriately.

That's SystemAuth in the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/config file -- it defaults to
"yes", which means CVS uses both the system passwd file and its own
passwd file.

No, it's some kind of internal error in inetd -- it's not the cause of
your problem.  Again, you need to look for messages from CVS itself, not
messages from inetd.  And check to see if your system has an AUTH_PRIV
facility -- if so, the log messages for it usually go to a special log
file that only root can read since they contain security-related
information.  That's where the good log messages go.

CVS does not talk to VSS. I don't know what you were doing 
before, but I'm pretty confident that you were not using CVS to talk to a VSS 
server. More likely you had CodeWarrior configured to use 
VSS.

AMTo: info-cvs@gnu.orgSubject: CVS login 
error

I'm trying to find some help about the login command to CVS. Several new 
things have happened here simultaneously and we are having trouble sorting out 
why I get an error with login: 
We got a new Windows 2003 server at the same time I got a new G5, OS X 
10.3.5 and upgraded Metrowerk's Code Warrior to its latest version ( 9 ). Our 
previous server ( Windows 2000 ) had Visual Source Safe(VSS) 6.0.c, for our 
source control. VSS was just copied from the old server to the new server, and 
we have been able to still access VSS from our Windows platforms and from MAC OS 
9.2 machine which has an old version of Code Warrior that still had interface 
for login in the setup panel. 
The new Metrowerks documentation says to login to CVS with -d login command 
and then Mac projects can access VSS from with the IDE. I used the pserver 
protocol since VSS is on the server. After typing in the cvs -d command, I am 
prompted for CVS password: When I type in my password I get the following a 

cvs [login aborted]: connect to maestrolearning.com:2401 failed: Operation 
timed out. 
I have also tried using MacCvsX to login and get the same error message. 

We had another company set up the new server and they are unfamiliar with 
Macs. Although we are not using CVS for source control, should something have be 
installed on our new server to enable the 'pserver' protocol for CVS login? Any 
recommendation for resources to check? I am not having any trouble connecting 
from the OS X machine to the server directly, or accessing files/folders there. 
It's just the cvs login error that has me baffled. Thanks.
