Well, I guess I expected it to do... something. After about five minutes I get a message saying it timed out.

Re: [Xastir] Install Problems with CentOS
I've had occasional problems and had to go back to the user home dir, and do a complete cvs copy from scratch. My config's right, but something else is unhappy. Doing a full download was easier/faster than troubleshooting. gerry Eric Christensen wrote: Curt, This is what I'm sending as my login text: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/xastir login Is that right?
