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.

cvsd-passwd

cvsd-passwd(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    cvsd-passwd(8)

NAME

       cvsd-passwd - generate password entries for repositories

SYNOPSIS

       cvsd-passwd REPOS [+|-]NAME...

DESCRIPTION

       cvsd-passwd adds, updates or deletes users from repository passwd files for use with cvsd.

OPTIONS

       REPOS  Specify  the  directory in which the repository is located. This argument can be the top of the repository, the CVSROOT directory or
	      even the passwd file in the CVSROOT directory.

       [+]USER[:SUSER]
	      Add or update the user to the CVSROOT/passwd file.  If the user does not exist a password for the user is  asked	and  the  user	is
	      added for use with cvsd.	If the user already exists a password for is asked and the password field is modified.

	      The :SUSER part can be user to change or set mapping to a system user.  If you do not specify anything, a reasonable default is used
	      based upon your cvsd configuration.  If you don't want to map the user to any specified system user you can specify an  empty  SUSER
	      and use 'USER:'.

       -USER  Remove the user from the CVSROOT/passwd file.

EXAMPLES

       Add an anoncvs user to access the given repository:
	   cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos +anoncvs
       If the user already exists, change the password.

       Remove a user from the repository passwd list:
	   cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos -foo

       Add a user and specify that cvs should remap this user to the joe system user:
	   cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos joecvs:joe
       Note that the user joe should be known in the system passwd file and that cvsd should be run as root or user joe for this to work.
