All, I have set up the cvs pserver on FC4 following the proper procedure. However when I try to run the cvs login, I got the following problem. ---------------- $ cvs -d :pserver:echan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/mycvsroot login Logging in to :pserver:echan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:2401/mycvsroot CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from torpedo.corp.cmates.com: cv s pserver: cannot open /mycvsroot/CVSROOT/config: Permission denied ----------------- I searched the web and it seems that some people have the similar issue. But I couldn't find a solution to resolve my problem. Can someone help? I don't think the cvs pserver set up issue. I can telnet to the 2401 port and got the response. ------------------ $ telnet torpedo.corp.cmates.com 2401 Trying 172.20.44.83... Connected to torpedo.corp.cmates.com. Escape character is '^]'. foo cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: foo Connection closed by foreign host. ------------------ The files under /mycvsroot/CVSROOT/ can be accessible by anyone. I don't know why it complained about the permission issue. ------------------ I even did a strace and got the similar result... 3957 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fb6000 3957 read(0, "BEGIN VERIFICATION REQUEST\n/mycv"..., 1024) = 79 3957 open("/mycvsroot/CVSROOT/config", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied ) ----------------- Any help is appreciated...
