Debugging cvspserver
I am using cvs with the file repository on the machine in my office.
I would like to be able to manipulate these files from the machine at
home. Both are running Debian Linux and both have the cvs package
installed.
The machine at home will communicate via a PPP connection and will
have a dynamically assigned IP number and name. I would much prefer
to use the pserver authentication for cvs tranfers instead of rsh
because I don't want to put all the possible dynamic addresses into a
.rhosts file. I set up the cvspserver line in my /etc/inetd.conf file
as follows.
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs pserver
When I try the login procedure, all I get is
$ cvs -d :pserver:bates@franz.stat.wisc.edu:/home/CVS login
(Logging in to bates@franz.stat.wisc.edu)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from franz.stat.wisc.edu: E Fatal error, aborting.
Does anyone know what the responses from the server should be if I
telnet directly to that port? (I can always read the sources but
asking readers of this list is a lot easier :-)
Alternatively, has anyone set up kerberos on a Debian Linux system and
used the kserver method for cvs authentication? Other machines in my
department use kerberos authentication so it may be best for me to
install kerberos on both machines.
