 |
|
I'm trying to set up a small CVS repository to use on my LAN (using http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html as reference)
What I have done so far is:
- I've added a 'cvs' user and a 'cvs' group to the system. The home for the user is /home/cvs
- I created the repository:
| Code: | cvs@ltkcentral ~ $ cvs -d /home/cvs/ init
cvs@ltkcentral ~ $ pwd
/home/cvs
cvs@ltkcentral ~ $ ls -l
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 3 cvs cvs 4096 Feb 12 15:19 CVSROOT
cvs@ltkcentral ~ $ |
- I added the desired CVS users:
| Code: | cvs@ltkcentral ~ $ pwd
/home/cvs
cvs@ltkcentral ~ $ cat CVSROOT/passwd
gargoylle_ltk:[crypted password]:cvs
bram:[crypted password]:cvs
cvs@ltkcentral ~ $ cat CVSROOT/writers
gargoylle_ltk
bram
cvs@ltkcentral ~ $ |
- I edited /etc/xinted.d/cvspserver and started xinted:
| Code: | ltkcentral ~ # cat /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver
service cvspserver
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = cvs
log_type = FILE /home/cvs/cvspserver
protocol = tcp
env = HOME=/home/cvs
log_on_failure += USERID
port = 2401
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/home/cvs pserver
}
ltkcentral ~ # /etc/init.d/xinetd start
* Starting xinetd ... [ ok ]
ltkcentral ~ # netstat -tlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 *:cvspserver *:* LISTEN 4806/xinetd
tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 9680/sshd
ltkcentral ~ # |
The problem I have is that whenever I try to import something into this repository I get a PAM error:
| Code: | ggarg@ltkcentral ~/development/ltkdc $ cvs -d :pserver:gargoylle_ltk@10.16.200.171:/home/cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:gargoylle_ltk@10.16.200.171:2401/home/cvs
CVS password:
ggarg@ltkcentral ~/development/ltkdc $ cvs -d :pserver:gargoylle_ltk@10.16.200.171:/home/cvs import -m "Initial CVS import" ltkdc ltkstudios ltkdc1
PAM open session error: System error
cvs [import aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
ggarg@ltkcentral ~/development/ltkdc $ |
for each import attempt I make the following line pops up in /var/log/messages:
| Code: | | Feb 12 15:30:26 ltkcentral cvs: PAM pam_open_session: NULL pam handle passed |
what have I done wrong/what more need I do ?

There is a known CVS bug that makes pam block some/all cvs commands. I had the same log messages as you, and I fixed it by re-emergeing cvs with the pam use flag turned off
| Code: |
USE="-pam" emerge -v cvs
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

I've been trying to get a CVS repository working for the last couple days, and have poured over the documentation available around the forums, the wiki, and the bug list at gentoo.org. Unfortunately, none of the fixes have helped me =(
I'm setting up a very simple box to host a CVS repository for a small group of developers. They all use Eclipse to checkout/update sources. When adding the repository, however, they recieve strange "String index out of range: 0" errors. When I tried to locally connect to the cvs server...
| Code: |
# CVSROOT=:pserver:admin@localhost:/root
# export CVSROOT
# cvs login
CVS password:
# cvs import -m 'test1 project' test1 devgroup initial
PAM open session error: System error
cvs [import aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
|
Rest assured the account has write privledges. What am I doing wrong? I added SystemAuth=no to the config file of the repository. I compiled cvs with the following command:
| Code: |
# USE="-pam" emerge cvs
|
But I get the same error. What the hell is going on? Any ideas would be seriously appreciated. |

Nevermind, I solved the problem.
It turns out that the cvsd script which installs a repository copies the cvs binary to the chroot jail. When doing so, it copied the binary that was compiled with the PAM use flag, so simply recompiling cvs with USE=-pam was not enough; the resulting binary had to be copied to the chroot jail. Now all is well. :) |
