Yes, using the cvs pserver is not really supported on cygwin. There have been sporadic reports that it works (and that it doesn't) -- but you're basically on your own (but try this: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/server/cvsserver.html ). It's both more secure and easier to just set up an ssh server, and use the :ext: protocol instead. -- Chuck cygwin cvs maintainer -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
