Can anyone offer any help w/ cvsupd/cvsup?

["Jeff Vincent" <JVINCENT@novell.com>]

This may be obvious, but I have never used cvsup(d) nor have I used sup.
 

I want to sync and backup a complete directory tree from Server1 to
Server2, both running the latest Debian 'woody' testing build.  The
directory I want to sync is a CVS repository and other related files
located at '/cvs'.  Here is what I did so far with no luck.

Server1: 

- installed cvsupd
- created a directory '/etc/cvsup/sup/cvs-all'
- created a file called '/etc/cvsup/sup/cvs-all/releases' and add the
line: 'cvs-all prefix=/cvs list=cvs-all-list'
- created a file called '/etc/cvsup/sup/cvs-all/cvs-all-list' and add
the lines (each is a separate line): 'upgrade *', 'symlink *', and
'rsymlink *'.
- edited /etc/init.d/cvsupd and commented out the 'exit 0' at the
beginning.
- ran the script '/etc/init.d/cvsupd start'

Server2:

- installed cvsup
- created a directory '/cvs' and created a file called '/cvs/cvs-all'
with the line:
     'cvs-all release=cvs-all base=/cvs prefix=/cvs host=<Server1IP>
delete preserve'
- ran the following command as root:  'cvsup /cvs/cvs-all'

The client just sits there for a while then quits with no messages or
errors and doesn't do anything.  I'm sure I am missing some crucial (yet
simple) piece of information on how this works.  Can anyone offer any
suggestions/hints/tips/tricks/references on how to configure this
stuff?

I also tried creating an empty /etc/cvsup/cvsupd.access file with no
rules to allow everyone access and also an empty list file.

Thanks,

Jeff
