    Starting up a cvs pserver

    Here is the command that I'm using in my inetd.conf file.
    Code:
    cvspserver      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs    -f --allow root=/var/lib/cvs pserver
    I am currently usigng slackware 9.1.

    Iwant to set up the pserver to be interfaced with a windows box. I have cvsnt installed on the windows box. Right now when I try to connect to my linux box It just hangs and does nothing.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanx Bignester.

    is the cvs pserver listening on a TCP port? (2401 by default i think).

    Do you have SSH running as well? (port 22).

    You can check using netstat:
    Code:
    netstat -ant | grep 0.0.0.0:2401
    Are you able to successfully SSH to the linux machine from the WinXP box?

    Did it ever work properly? Also as a quick thing to trying, have your attemped to just use your win box as your print server instead? just a path of least resistance thing.

    I ran netstat and here is what I got

    Code:
    tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:2401            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
    When I said pserver I meant the cvs pserver. If I'm wrong as in what this is please tell me. I'm under the impression that this will allow me to connect with a windows box and use the cvs server. Which is what I want to do.

    Yes I can ssh into my linux box using putty. Is there a way to use putty with the cvs server.

    thanx for any help

    when you "cvs add" a file to your cvs repository, if it is basically "non text" use the -b flag to tell CVS this is a binary file.

    eg: cvs add -b filename.jpg

    text files, source code etc etc can be added normally (eg: cvs add filename.php)

    How you get the file back i dont know, do you have another copy somewhere?
