RE: CVS login error
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.

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.

This can

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

Re: cvs login
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from machine: cvs pserver: cannot open dir/CVS/CVSROOT/config: Permission denied You're running the server from [x]inetd as root, right? If so, that error means that *root* doesn't have permission to access that directory, not you. That in turn implies that your repository is on an NFS-mounted filesystem which is a major mistake: it's just asking for trouble, and you're already getting it. By default, NFS maps root to an ordinary user (typically nobody in the group nogroup) who doesn't have permission to access your repository. It probably wouldn't hurt to give everyone read permission on the CVSROOT directory and its contents, but you're much better off moving your repository to a local disk. -Larry Jones It's no fun to play games with a poor sport. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

And why does winCVS or any other client show the error as cvs login cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server 66.125.19.74 rejected access to /usr/local/cvsrepository for user cvsusergroup. When this happens, the server should log a message under the DAEMON facility that says either login refused for repository (which indicates that the specified repository isn't valid) or login failure (for repository) (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? -Larry Jones I'm crying because out there he's gone, but he's not gone inside me. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

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. I also have a CVS admin GUI page from where I can add cvs users. I added few cvs users and defined them to access the files as cvsusergroup ... This added the following lines to $CVSROOT/cvsroort/passwd file Ibrahim:password:cvsusergroup cvsusergroup:password:cvsusergroup. Those are encrypted passwords, not plain text passwords, right? I am really going crazy with this error. What is the cvspserver/tcp: bind: Address already in use error? 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. How do we define cvspserver to authenticate the users againt the users in the passwd file or against the system users? 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. -Larry Jones I think if Santa is going to judge my behavior over the last year, I ought to be entitled to legal representation. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: cvs login failure
(Oops. Thought I had sent this off days ago... Sorry.)
Some interesting news, below. Good but puzzling.

$CVS_CLIENT_LOG.in and $CVS_CLIENT_LOG.out and writes in there.
No, that's about it. I'm not sure what shell you are using, but in Bourne, Bash,
and
Korn, you need to export environment variables for a child process to see them:
Sure. That's why I said I "exported" CVS_CLIENT_LOG.
Whoops. Just checked myself and CVS doesn't start writing to the client log until
after authentication, probably for the obvious reasons, but it does work under both
Linux Windows in 1.11.
So wouldn't get any debug for the part that's going wrong, anyway.
Anyway, I'd say your options are compiling a debug version under Windows and
attempting to trace the failed attempt or figure out what the difference between
your
Windows Linux CVSROOT specs are, since the Linux version worked.
I'll admit that it seems difficult to see how to setup the cvs server
to be run from gdb. Hmm, maybe I could attach to it once it was
running...
Is LOGNAME set
differently on the two machines?
No.
Try a CVSROOT with no variables in it. CVS
shouldn't be filling anything into CVSROOT on either platform, so if the problem
lies
there you should be able to fix it on the command line.
I think that's a small red herring. I tried without a CVSROOT, using
the -d option, with the same result.
Also, try again to make sure that handy's IP address is the same regardless of which
machine you look it up on.
Handy is defunct; "mantovani" is the stand-in. There is an amd entry
so that /home/handy is the same as /home/mantovani. But our network is
solid and clean, and I'd be flabbergasted if mantovani's IP address
changed while the machine was running (the IP addresses are assigned
dynamically from a server).
And now for the good but puzzling news. It's now working.
Now, keep in mind that this all used to work when Handy was alive; and
failed when Mantovani replaced it. Both were running the same version
of Linux with the same versions of the same utilities installed.
Also involved is an old version of ssh compiled for Windows.
The problem only occurs if we don't explicitly specify the login id when
we make the ssh connection from the Windows box to the Linux CVS
server. The ssh login succeeds, but when we later try to cvs login,
the cvs server on the Linux box rejects the login with the message
"authentication failure".
The mechanism works like this - let me use Win to stand for the Windows
client and Lin for the Linux server:
On Win we do: ssh -L 2401:localhost:2401 Lin
I gather this makes a loopback connection on port 2401 on localhost
(Win), talking to a 2nd loopback ssh connection on port 2401 on Lin,
and because of our /etc/{services,inetd.conf} and pserver CVSROOT, cvs
talks via ssh.
With the ssh -l $LOGNAME it all works. Without the -l $LOGNAME we get
the "authentication failure" error when the windows user tries to cvs
login - *even though the ssh login works*.
Each user only has a single login id.
Puzzles are:
1) If the -l $LOGNAME is needed, why did it work at all previously?
2) How can the ssh login succeed but the cvs login fail? Where does the
cvs server get the login id from? The client? If so, how does the
ssh login id affect it?
I twigged to this after trying a new ssh compiled under U/Win 2.25,
which just happens to default to using "DOMAIN/$LOGNAME" as the login
id. This forced me to specify -l $LOGNAME to make even the ssh login
succeed. And after that, the cvs login worked.
So, we're happy that it's now working, but don't really understand what
went wrong, or why it now works.

Are you sure your ssh is still forwarding the connection to the correct machine and not to another without your name in the password file? Are you sure the repository root (--allow-root=...) hasn't changed and is it still being specified correctly to the pserver command?

No, that's exactly what I used; it's the output from a script wrapped around it that only starts an ssh connection to the cvs server machine if there isn't already one running, and also sets some environment variables. Fundamentally it does this: wterm sh -c "ssh -l $LOGNAME -L 2401:localhost:2401 mantovani" CVSROOT=":pserver:$LOGNAME@localhost:/home/mantovani/cvs-archive" CVS_SERVER="/usr/bin/cvs" export CVS_SERVER cvs login This means that at localhost on the client, and on localhost on the server, an ssh connection to port 2401 is made. So all cvs communications are sent via ssh. We use this because we're working on a clean room project; it just happens to be the same system we use if working off site. Why don't you use :ext:luke@linuxhost:/home/mantovani/cvs-archive And set CVS_RSH to ssh. See above. Plus, it used to work until we changed the CVS server from one Linux machine to another. And this way still works when talking to another server serving another CVS archive. A very significant fact: when logged into the cvs server, if we use CVSROOT=":pserver:$LOGNAME@localhost:/home/mantovani/cvs-archive" cvs login fails there! Doing a trace of it, all we see is the server sending the message "I HATE YOU". So the password validation appears to be failing. In summary: I think we're using ssh for good reasons; it used to work; changing from one Linux machine to another (and re-doing the config) stopped it working; we can still use the technique to talk to another server serving another CVS archive. Any hints about how we diagnose this? Does cvs provide any verbose logging or debug mode? AFAIK, cvs login takes no options. My next step otherwise will be to modify the cvs source to generate some information to trace what's going on. luke ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Is there any kind of logging information that can be examined? Like the message says, it's the server that rejected the login. When you get just that message with no additional information, it means that either the user exists but the password didn't match, If it was using the user CISRA/luke instead of luke (i.e. if for some reason it was insisting on using the Windows domain name plus user name), the password would fail to match. Is there any way to force it to use a specific user name? or the repository you specified does not match one of the --allow-root= arguments specified for the server (in /etc/inetd.conf, presumably). No, it looks like: cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs --allow-root=/home/handy/cvs-archive pserver Although the machine "handy" died, and was replaced by "mantovani", the auto mounter has been adjusted to pretend matovani is handy. We also tried explicitly changing the inetd.conf to refer to mantovani, and killed inetd processes, but it made no difference. :-( The current development version now has an additional message for the latter case, so you'll be able to tell which it is in the future. Sounds helpful. But are there any log messages we can use to find the exact username it was using? I'm suspicious of that. luke ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
