cvs and pserver

389163Mar 4 2003 — edited Mar 5 2003
I am having real problems tyrig to get cvs to work using pserver.

I am using JDeveloper 9.0.31 Build 1107 on Windows XP (Using the jdk that came with the full download).

Using NTcvs, lastest build 1.11.1.3-73 on a Window NT 4 server.

I have full permissions and I am using the default port of 2041

On creating a connection, the Wizard shows the CVSROOT as:

:pserver:malcolm@R-DEV51:c:\cvs

which is correct (Smartcvs and the command line work with this).

Client cvs was installed from the NTcvs build in c:\cvs which is in the path.

After creating a new connection using CVS, the connection the test says:

"Testing connection...
Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password
Timed out waiting for process to exit.
Connection test failed: unable to connect.

However the log window shows:

cvs client> [:pserver:malcolm@R-DEV51:c:\cvs] logged in to password server.

But nothing works. Any attempt to check out a project says: e.g.

$ cd C:\Java\51\514
$ cvs -d :pserver:malcolm@R-DEV51:c:\cvs checkout Java
cvs checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password
cvs [checkout aborted]: authorization failed: server R-DEV51 rejected access to c:/cvs for user malcolm

Now I don't have a local .passwd in my home directory nor in c:\cvs. But adding one does not help either.
I can connect using local and using ntserver authentication!.
But then I can't usw Smartcvs - it doesnt support local or neserver.

I need some help.

Can any tell me where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance.
