I have been struggling with this error for a day now. I don't have any
NFS file systems. I did search the archives but couldn't find anything.
Using Fedora Core 4.
In my /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file, I have:
service cvspserver
{
id = cvspserver
disable = no
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/home/cvs/cvsroot -f pserver
log = /var/log/cvslog
}
which I assume would mean that the cvs server is running as root. The
/home/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/config file is readable by root.
But I get the same error:
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/home/cvs/cvsroot
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from hostname: cvs
pserver: cannot open /home/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/config: Permission
denied
What could be happening here? My linux version; 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
my config file has this:
SystemAuth=no
#no passwd file, I want it to use the /etc/passwd for auth.
hey,
through which user you are trying to access cvs server
make SystemAuth=yes
and then check out.
Moreover check these 2 things
whether SELinux is on or not and what about iptables
make sure if IPtables are on port 2401 is allowed (output as well as input)
check out this url for configuring cvs on redhat linux
