AIX vs Linux CVS Pserver Responses

[Marsh, Thomas S.]

All:

We're implementing CVS Servers on AIX 4.3  and Linux. The client software
talking to the servers is Eclipse.org's Java CVS client (IBM's Webshpere
Studio Application Developer).

I think my problems are with permissions, but I'm not sure. My problems are
with the AIX box (I changed the client's code to look at a different port on
the AIX box from 2401 - it's already used).

The following code is and responses are issued to get a listing of projects
on the AIX box:

BEGIN AUTH REQUEST
blah blah
END AUTH REQUEST
I LOVE YOU
blah blah....
ok
Root /usr/cvsroot
global_option -n
argument -d
Directory .
/usr/cvsroot
Argument .
update
E -f server: Updating .
E -f server: New directory 'CVSROOT' -- ignored 
E -f server: New directory 'testteam' -- ignored 
ok

on the Linux box, everything is virtually the same with the exception of the
'-f' in the messages on the AIX box. The client is interpreting these as
errors when connecting to the AIX box.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA

Tom
