Re: Failied to access the CVS repository

[MEI-XING ZHAO]

Thanks! I made it working by adding ``-T /tmp'' before ``pserver'' to 
the CVS command in [x]inetd.conf.

BTW, any way to reinitilize the changes made in inetd.conf without 
rebooting the machine?

Thanks,
Mei

What has most likely happened is that someone has changed $TMPDIR for
root to be /tmp/root and that setting is getting inherited by everything
that root starts, including [x]inetd and then CVS.  Check your [x]inetd
config file against what's shown in the CVS manual:


If that doesn't help, add an explicit ``-T /tmp'' before ``pserver'' to
the CVS command in [x]inetd.conf.

Probably -- ``man inetd''.

You don't have permission to create subdirectories in /tmp/root (on the
server), which is apparently where you have the server's temp directory

Thanks for your reply Larry. You are correct about the problem. I found 
I can access the CVS repository locally(on the same server) OK. But run 
cvs command remotely still not working. I am not sure where the 
/tmp/root set set. It use to be just create the temp files on /tmp. From 
the link you provided, I am still not sure how to set the temp dir so 
the client cvs will use this setting. I feel somehow the system sets the 
temp dir to /tmp/root. Here is ar paragraph from the CVS manual about 
$TMPDIR:
"Directory in which temporary files are located. The CVS server uses 
TMPDIR. See section Global options, for a description of how to specify 
this. Some parts of CVS will always use `/tmp' (via the tmpnam function 
provided by the system)."

I tried to set TMPDIR, but it only applies to client not the server. Not 
sure where in the CVS uses '/tmp', I think maybe this is messed up to 
become '/tmp/root'. Anyidea as how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Mei
