hi all. I'm attempting to setup a cvs server using cvsd, and I've been following this post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=712793#712793

I have been unable to login.

I too have the same problem as above. Searching shows that most people's problems were fixed via editing iptables (not emerged) or playing with xinetd (not running). I'm not running anything else that I can think of that would prevent outside access, since my Gentoo machine is running on a secured LAN server.

From cvsd.log while using debug recording:

I have the exact same problem.
I have been googling on it quite alot.
everywhere it is brought up there are several people asking the question but no answers.

Anyone got this working please tell us how!

my firewall is not up, i'm not using xinet, the debug (cvsd -d) gives nothing interesting. (no error messages)

I got a feeling there's something wrong with the cvsd-buildroot script.
I get this:

Thank you very much thedd, you solved my problem. I didn't like having to give ssh access to people just for using cvs (I don't know any way to allow ssh in a chroot, maybe it exists..)

On my machine cvsd version is 1.0.2
I went to http://tiefighter.et.tudelft.nl/~arthur/cvsd/ (the homepage of the project, thanks to portage) and it tells me that 1.0.2 release date is 2004-04-17.
There is 1.0.3 in portage that is masked but the latest version is 1.0.6.

The homepage news say

I had this problem too

cvs login said the Connection wos reset by peer.

But I made the failure in the config file /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf

in the Tutorial http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_CVS_Server they took /var/lib/cvs as CVS rootdirectory, and in the config file stands /var/lib/cvsd.

I've also copied the library file to /var/lib/cvs and now the failure is gone.

same for me, the trick of copying the libs removed the "Connection reset by peer" error

but then another error occured :

same error here.

RESOLVED:

- build CVS with server flag
- run cvsd-buildroot /my/cvs/dir
- restart cvsd

When trying to connect to my cvs-server I get this error:

cvs [login aborted]: connect to localhost(127.0.0.1):2401 failed: Connection refused

I've followed the howto-wiki but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Disabling the JailRoot seems to be sufficient to make it work properlyish. This strongly suggests that some library or something isn't in the jail root that the cvs binary needs to be there to make it know all of its commands... now that I think of it, sh is probably a good bet, since it's the current working directory that's lacking implementation.

Anyway, I didn't search to find out what was missing, since I kind of have work to do now, but perhaps I'll look at it in more detail at a later date. For now, you can get the server working by turning off the JailRoot.

Hi,

I have a problem with the CVS configure in my ubuntu 6.10 distribution.

I repeat the steps of the link

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_CVS_Server

but I have been unable to login.

CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer

Some people said tha the solution is:

cp /lib/ld-* /var/lib/cvsd/lib/
cp /lib/libdl.so.2 /var/lib/cvsd/lib/

but the error don't change.

Someone can help me?

Thanks for all
