RE: Help with pam support patching cvs 1.11.17

[Grant Stephenson]

Yes, this is with 1.12.12 , but wincvs works fine, it's the eclipse
client that does not work with the newer cvs server. And their support
documentation only lists being compatible with 1.11.17  (and earlier)
versions. 
The error message on the client is "Internal error, resource does not
start with root"

Even with the most recent 1.12.12?  The Directory/Relative-directory
protocol change was designed to support old clients.  There may have
been a bug in an early release, though I can't find any reference to it
in a quick archive search, but, if so, I haven't heard about it in
awhile.  If you can still reproduce this with 1.12.12, I would be
interested in seeing a transcript of the client/server communication.
