RE: CVS pserver login problem

[Adam Vainder]

Peter,

 

Thanks for the link. I looked at what it said, especially the snippet :

 

"errors like "connection reset by peer", "received broken pipe signal", "recv() from server: EOF", or "end of file from server" typically indicate that inetd is listening for connections but is unable to start CVS (this is frequently caused by having an incorrect path in `inetd.conf' or by firewall software rejecting the connection). "

 

and tried the "telnet into port 2401" debug that they suggested. Unfortunately (well for this case), I got the "bad auth protocol" message, indicating that CVS is working correctly.

 

I'll check about firewall stuff this weekend, but it shouldn't be behind anything that would block CVS (its on a college campus that lets pretty much any protocol through). Maybe it's something on my end *shrug*.

 

Any other ideas in the meantime?

 

Sorry to bug you guys with this, Ive been trying to figure it out solo for quite some time.

 

Thanks again,

Adam
