I am trying to access a cvs repository on the net ( lets say CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic) from a linux machine. The cvs client is version 1.10.8 ( bash is 2.04). We use a proxy server ( SQUID) and a firewall ( ipchains). now whenever I try to access a repository using pser

This is not a CVS question. This is a firewall administration question. You'll have better luck asking a networking group. Having said that, as a guess you have a far too restrictive firewall. If you do not have any services running on a particular port, firewalling does not increase your sec

WinCVS: Dates on files

A WinCVS question; I guess actually a general CVS question: Is it possible to preserve the date/time on files when doing an update? I have files that I modified a few months ago, checked them into a new repository, and did an update in a different directory. The dates/times are the current date/t

Which incoming ports do you restrict ? You should probably restrict 0-1023,5990-6009,2401(:)),5432 (and a few others). If you restrict them all then no packets can come through unless you set up a specific 2401 tcp proxy server. My strong suggestion is to ask a different mailing list, you'll pr
