CVS on redhat
Hi all,

i am trying to set up a CVS server on linux and to remote access the repository using WinCVS. I am facing some problem and i am unsure whether is it the client or the server not set up properly.

In my winCVS client, i clicked Admin ->login and i specify my CVSROOT to be ": pserver:username:@a.b.c.d:2401/usr/mycvs/env1/CVSROOT", (there is not supposed to be a space between ':' and 'pserver', i had to add the space otherwise a smiley comes out) then i got an error message
Code:
cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server a.b.c.d: -1: Unknown error

In my /var/log/message i get
Code:
xinetd[23451]: START: cvspserver pid=28566 from=i.j.k.l
xinetd[28566]: libwrap refused connection to cvspserver (libwrap=cvs) from i.j.k.l
xinetd[28566]: FAIL: cvspserver libwrap from=i.j.k.l
xinetd[23451]: EXIT: cvspserver status=0 pid=28566 duration=0(sec)


On my server side my /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver is below. I've checked on net, some resources say i need to name the file cvs, while some say cvspserver. Which is correct?
Code:
# default: off
# description: The CVS service can record the history of your source \
#              files. CVS stores all the versions of a file in a single \
#              file in a clever way that only stores the differences \
#              between versions.
service cvspserver
{
        disable                 = no
        port                    = 2401
        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        passenv                 = PATH
        server                  = /usr/bin/cvs
        env                     = HOME=/usr/mycvs
        server_args             = -f --allow-root=/usr/mycvs/test pserver

}

Currently, my passwd file in my /usr/mycvs/test/CVSROOT has an entry
Code:
username:encrypted_password:os_user

where os_user is a valid OS login and has permission on the /usr/mycvs directories.

Would appreciate if anyone can tell me what is incorrect.

cvs-debrelease

CVS-DEBC(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CVS-DEBC(1)

NAME

       cvs-debrelease - upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debrelease [cvs-debrelease options] [--dopts [dupload/dput options]]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debrelease  is run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild.  It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate
       the .changes file generated in that run.  It then uploads the package using debrelease(1), which in turn  calls	either	dupload  or  dput.
       Note  that  the	--dopts  option  must  be specified to distinguish the cvs-debrelease options from the dupload or dput options.  Also, the
       devscripts configuration files will be read, as described in the debrelease(1) manpage.

       Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as  the
       last command-line parameter.

OPTIONS

       All  current  cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect.  For more details on all
       of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.  All debrelease options (as listed below) are also accepted.

       --dupload, --dput
	      This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is dupload.

       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
	      See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options.  They affect the search for the .changes file.  They  are  provided	to
	      mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.

       -Mmodule
	      The name of the CVS module.

       -Ppackage
	      The name of the package.

       -Vversion
	      The version number of the package.

       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

       -Rroot directory
	      Root of the original sources archive.

       -Wwork directory
	      The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

       -xprefix
	      This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       --no-conf, --noconf
	      Do not read any configuration files.  This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line.

       --help, --version
	      Show help message and version information respectively.
