Trying to figure out the CVS repository server.
We have an issue where we are able to check out files from unix however not from windows. On Unix I have the cvs host set to /home/group/CVSROOT but when I try and access the folder from windows I get an exception that the server refuses connection.

On unix the CVSROOT is a filer and not the actual repository - trying to use SSH to connect to that server does not work i.e I can check out the repository on Unix but not on Windows. Is this an issue do I need the actual host or is there some CVS setting that is missing for me to be able to checkout the module from windows.

We know the NAS server - however would like to know the actual server that hosts the repository. Is there any way to figure that out use the filer host to connect from Windows.

Any help would be much appreciated.

cvsconnect

CVSCONNECT(1)															     CVSCONNECT(1)

NAME

       cvsconnect - CVS connection minimizer

SYNOPSIS

       cvsconnect cvsroot [command-to-run ...]

DESCRIPTION

       CVSconnect enables you to do multiple CVS operations on single network connection.  CVSconnect sets up special environment using
       $CVSRSH/$CVSROOT for the command line CVS client.  In the environment, the command line CVS client reuses a network connection.

       CVSconnect is especially designed to use with CVSsuck.  And CVSconnect (or similar) will be integrated to a future version of CVSsuck.
       However, it is planned that CVSsuck directly connects to a cvs server without cvs command.

EXAMPLES

	cvsconnect $HOME/.cvsroot

BUGS

       o   The global option -z for compression cannot be used.  If you use SSH via ext method, you can use compression by SSH instead.

       o   CVS client must be run at a time.  Running two or more clients at a same time will make a trouble.  (will be fixed in future release.)

       o   Some static variables in a CVS server may confuse you.  It's a CVS bug.  Report it to CVS developer :-).

       o   Command line CVS client must request `Root' first.  Don't mind.  There is no implementation which violates this assumption, however I
	   know.  At least, CVS-1.10 and CVS-1.11 should work.

NOTES

       o   When CVS command is failed, CVSconnect automatically re-run the command with reconnected connection when CVS command is failed.
	   Especially the failure is caused by a long running CVS-1.10 server.	Since CVS-1.10 doesn't close some file descriptors, a long running
	   CVS server will exceed a limit of file descriptors.

       o   /bin/sh should be POSIX sh because this script uses ${parameter#pattern}, etc.  If your /bin/sh is ancient Bourne shell, use ksh or
	   bash.
