After solving a silly, but fundamental, problem in setting up CVS server on Fedora Core 8 (see details here), I thought for a moment that "all is well" (since the CVS seems to log me in) but, unfortunately, I still have a problem before being able to start using it: When I perform cvs login on the Windows client: Quote: ~> cvs login Logging in to :pserv
one use cvs over ssh? cvs checkout . fails setgid failed: Operation not permitted setgroups: Operation not permitted cvsd: no such user pam failed to release authenticator open /dev/null failed Is cvs required for running cvsd? What should I put in the chroot directory? How can I run commands from loginfo/commitinfo/...? How do I add extra debugging? What about running cvs pserver as root? How do I file a bug report? Should I start the cvsd program as the cvsd user? How about logging? Why are tcp http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cvs-no-such-system-user-why-608994/ wrappers not working? Why can't I combine some Listen options? How do I enable syslog inside the chroot jail? Interrupted system call cannot create_adm_p /tmp/cvs-serv5153/... Permission denied Will you implement a reload in the init script? Will you pass -R (readonly) to cvs? How can I deploy cvsd using the Solaris service management facility (smf)? How secure is cvsd? The only security https://arthurdejong.org/cvsd/faq.html cvsd adds to a cvs pserver is in the fact that possible exploits and misconfigurations in the server will most likely not result in the compromise of the machine (don't forget the disclaimer though). cvsd does not improve the inherent weaknesses of the pserver protocol such as cleartext passwords, use cvs over ssh for that. How does one use cvs over ssh? Not really anything to do with cvsd but here goes: % export CVS_RSH=ssh % cvs -d remotehost:repositorypath
-0500 The config file is lengthy and mostly default. The non-blank non-commented lines of interest that seem to be non-default https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2013-08/msg00004.html are: [...] # Set `UseNewInfoFmtStrings' to `no' if you must support a legacy system by # enabling the deprecated old style info file command line format strings. # Be warned that these strings could be disabled in any new version of CVS. UseNewInfoFmtStrings=yes [...] and the cvspserver file is less wordy: address@hidden:/etc/xinetd.d$ cat cvspserver service fatal error cvspserver { port = 2401 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root passenv = PATH server = /usr/bin/cvs server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver # xxx_server_args = -f --allow-root=/media/ddrive/cvs pserver } My repository is on a separately mounted drive at /cvs, which was moved from /media/ddrive/cvs during a disk upgrade. FWIW the fatal error aborting. problem behavior happened with the old repo location as well. The /cvs directory is on an NTFS partition. I don't think I have any controversial software running on it. The main products I have are cvs, samba, svn client, Anjuta, Oracle java 7 (6 was hopefully removed), Eclipse and probably 4 or 5 others that I've forgotten about. After sending the message below, I did several more reboots, and was able to get it to respond... but I want to fix the problem properly if anybody has ideas. "Arthur Barrett"
wrote in message news:address@hidden Harvey, By default PServer authentication is a 'simple' text lookup with a passwd file in CVSROOT. However you can also set up 'SystemAuth' in which case a system call is used, or you could be using something more complex still. Please send the CVSROOT/config file and the /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver Regards, Arthur Barrett -----Original Message----- From: address@hidden [mailto:address@hidden org] On Behalf Of H Brydon Sent: 16 August 2013 03:23 To: address@hidden
