Re: Login problem using pserver

[Paul Law]

Thanks for the information. I tried the telnet troubleshooting method
described in the link you provided. Looks like I can reach CVS via inetd
but for some reason CVS doesn't like what's being passed to it and closed
the connection immediately. Any ideas?

Here's the output I got:

$ telnet js1.dvasia.com.hk 2401
Trying 10.0.71.248...
Connected to js1.dvasia.com.hk.
Escape character is '^]'.
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
  where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
    (specify --help-options for a list of options)
  where command is add, admin, etc.
    (specify --help-commands for a list of commands
     or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms)
  where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
    (specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help)
  Specify --help to receive this message

The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.
For CVS updates and additional information, see
    Cyclic Software at http://www.cyclic.com/ or
    Pascal Molli's CVS site at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html

Thanks
