Steve,

I've found a reason of this buggy behavior. My cvs is run chrooted under cvsd.
And cvsd-buildroot has failed to updated glibc correctly, namely, it has 
silently left obsolete /lib/tls/libc.so.6 inside cvs chroot. This obsolete 
version of libc.so.6 prevented cvs from running correctly.
To fix the problem I've removed /lib/tls directory with all its content, and 
cvs now works fine again.

Should this bugreport moved over to cvsd?

Regards,
Max

cvs stoped working recently. On the client side I see the following error 
message:

cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from <CVSSERVER>: cvs: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by cvs)

There are two issues here:
1) On the server side (under debian/unstable) there is no directory /lib/tls/
2) Even when I make a symlink /lib/tls -> /lib (where libc.so.6 resides), that does not solve the problem and the error message remains the same.

Hi Max,

I'm concerned by your bug report. I can't reproduce it here at all,
so I'm curious what your setup is:

 * what access method are you using for your repository? (I'm guessing
   pserver)
 * can you log on to the server and run cvs directly?
 * what auth setup do you have for the cvs server?

As I can't reproduce your problem, I'm reducing the severity a
little. The latest CVS upload contained only tiny changes from the
previous version, and at first sight your problems seem much more
likely to be a local configuration problem.

Thanks!
