Re: pserver problems

[MOHIT A LAD]

Hi Larry,

Thanks for the prompt response.

You were right on that one. I stopped the ypibnd - NIS binding process and
the things seem to be moving forward.

Now I created a sample project dir 'myproj' having sub-dirs 'bin', 'src' &
'inc'.

When I try to *import* this project into the repository it throws the
following error:

cvs import -m "initial import into CVS" myproj mohit start
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied

No conflicts created by this import



I found out that the project dir 'myproj' was created but the sub-dirs
were not created.

I tried searching for the '.cvsignore' file. It doesn't exist.

What could be the problem.

Also, how can join the mailing-list if any.

Thanks & Regards,

-Mohit Lad
