Greetings everyone :
I am having a real headache trying to setup CVS for remote logins on
a linux system. CVS works fine localy, I can checkout and commit
changes, but whenever I try to login remotely, the server responds with
"directory not found" or "client closed connection". I can checkout
files fine with cvs (from a SSH), but when I try to logon to the server
itself (from the same machine, using the IP), it doesn't work.
Here is what I've tried :
Checked permissions (cvs user, cvs group)
Edited the passwd file under CVSROOT
Created a separate cvs-only user and added that to passwd file
Read the manual at cvshome.org and the "The CVS Handbook"
Tried logging in as my normal user (member of cvs group), cvs-only
user, even root.
Nothing seems to be working. Can anyone point me to any resources or
offer any clues? Thanks so much. Things I haven't tried yet are logging
in via SSH, because I'm trying to figure out if the problem is with
authentication, or the actual server setup.
I owe a tip.
Eagerly awaiting some advice,
