CVS错误：连接被拒绝错误

Question

Hi i have installed CVS binary(means created link to binary file) in the path / home/mrsx/bin folder and created the respositry in the path /apps/src/CVSROOT (CVSROOT respository name). and added entries in inetd.conf as(all in single line):

cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /home/mrsx/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=/apps/src/CVSROOT pserver

and in /etc/services as : cvspserver 2401/tcp and restarted inetd .

and set CVSROOT to :pserver:username@servername:2401/apps/src/CVSROOT and tried to login and i got connection refused error..

can anybody please tell me what is wrong in the above mentioned steps.

Answer 1

I just had this problem migrating an Ubuntu cvs repository. In the Debian-Ubuntu world, do this:

apt-get install cvs xinetd

establish your repository ( just follow instructions in the manual)

make sure your users have write permission. Typically create a cvs group, put them in it, and mark the repos 775; chgrp -R cvs * ( cvs lacks security, read the manual)

add a file in /etc/xinetd.d called cvspserver

edit the file similar to this:

service cvspserver

{

port = 2401

socket_type = stream

protocol = tcp

user = root

wait = no

type = UNLISTED

server = /usr/bin/cvs

server_args = -f --allow-root /usr/local/cvs pserver

disable = no

}

reboot or restart xinetd
