RE: CVS Setup Help Needed
Here's more info (and yes, I'm somewhat lost here...): 1. I set $CVSROOT to be /cvsroot 2. I did initialize the repository, so there is a /cvsroot/CVSROOT directory (with all the subdirectories under it that are created) 3. I haven't tried it in local mode... 4. I've been trying to connect via WinCVS, and I get the message equivalent to the one if you incorrectly type cvs (or just cvs) at a console prompt (not the whole usage message, just the first line). Sorry, I'm at work so I can't really get the message from here. Like I said, I'm somewhat lost simply b/c this is the first time I've tried to setup/use CVS. Thanks for any help!

RE: CVS Setup Help Needed
Then how did you initialize the repository? :-) cvs -d /cvsroot init I suspect my main problem is with the $CVSROOT. Does the user in :pserver:user@host:/cvsroot need to be each username that will access the system? My /etc/services: cvspserver 2401/tcp My inetd.conf reads this: cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs -f -allow-root=/cvsroot pserver Like I said, I suspect that I need to set up the $CVSROOT correctly. Any more help is appreciated :)!!!

Re: CVS Setup Help Needed
I need more information to really be able to help but I'll give it a good shot. Did you do a cvs init? Verify that cvs commands work from the node where cvs is installed? The inetd.conf doesn't look correct. Mine looks like this: cvs stream tcp nowait root /opt/cvs/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=/export/cvsroot pserver I initially did not use the -f and I lived to regret it. Sigh, it took me days to find that type-o. Have you set up the /etc/services file? See section 2.9.3 in the Cederqvist (http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs.html) for help with the inetd and services files. WINcvs In WINcvs, you first need it to login successfully before you can do anything. Admin menu pick ... Login To interact with the repository: Create menu pick, General Tab fill is the first text field with the items in tailored to your site. :pserver:user@host:$CVSROOT for example, :pserver:jschwenk@pilot:/export/cvsroot I'm on the digest so feel free to email me directly.
