RE: Problems running cvs pserver

[Sven Dowideit]

I have this problem with cvs-1.10 (the one we are currently using in local
mode only) and with cvs 1.11p1 (that i am using as a comparison)

I think the easiest answer to the --help-comands question is that the newly
compiled cvs (either version) is able to do :local: and :ext: checkouts
fine, its only the pserver that is causing me pain.

when you say the Kerberos stuff is a mess, do you mean that everyone just
installs kerberos?

cheers
