I tried to config cvs under Redhat 7.1, but failed. Following the steps I followed.
1. In /etc/profile I put CVSROOT=/usr/local/cvsroot export CVSROOT 2. source /etc/profile 3. cvs init 4. under "/etc/xinitd.d" I created a file called "cvspserver" and put these lines service cvspserver { disable = no port = 2401 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root passenv = server = /usr/local/bin/cvs server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver } 5. added a user call "cvs" 5. put a "passwd" file under (a copy of /etc/shadow) /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT 6. restarted the "xinetd" service issuing the command service xinetd restart 7. listed ports using nmap tool nmap localhost It shows the follwing list. Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): (The 1595 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 22/tcp open ssh 111/tcp open sunrpc 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 1024/tcp open kdm 1025/tcp open NFS-or-IIS 6000/tcp open X11 So this shows cvs server is not started at port 2401? what is the mistake I did? Please help me. Thanks. Sajeewa Chandrasekera. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
