Need help please: "writing to server socket" error

[Dennis Jones]

Hello,

I have a CVS server (version 1.11.1.1) running on Linux 6.x, and I have one
user who is complaining today about the following error:

cvs [update aborted]: writing to server socket: Connection reset by peer

He is the only one having trouble, and I can access the server just fine
locally (local LAN).  The user is connecting via the internet using the
pserver protocol.

Initially, we tried a trace, and it hung up on one particular directory.  He
deleted the offending directory and seemed to be back in business.  Then he
tried a fresh checkout, and now the new directory tree results in this same
error.

I have searched back 2 years in this mailing list, and connot find any
information about this particular error.  Can someone offer some insights?

Thanks much,

- Dennis
