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-debc

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

NAME

       cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debc [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debc  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 displays information about the .deb files which were generated in that run, by running  dpkg-
       deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in the same directory
       as the .changes file.  It is useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the Debian package.

       If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of packages will be processed.

       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.

       -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.

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

AUTHOR

       cvs-buildpackage was written by Manoj Srivastava, and the current version of debi was written by Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>.  They have
       been combined into this program by Julian Gilbey.
