RE: Check out fails

[Rancier, Jeff]

Thanks,

I was using my username.  The results from the ypcat:

ypcat:  the domainname hasn't been set on this machine.

Do I need to resolve this, or is just a method for troubleshooting?

| 
| Q1) what username are you giving to CVS?
| 
| Q2) on the solaris box what does the following command sequence yield?
| cat /etc/passwd > /tmp/workoutuser; ypcat passwd >> 
| /tmp/workoutuser  ; \
| grep username_from_Q1 /tmp/workoutuser
| 
| Q3) on the solaris box what does the following command 
| sequence yield? (Note
| that you may not want to give all the information output 
| here, just what you
| believe may be involved.)
| cat /etc/group > /tmp/workoutgroup ;  \
| ypcat group >> /tmp/workoutgroup; \
| grep username_from_Q1 /tmp/workoutuser |awk -F: '{print $4}' >
| /tmp/workoutgid
| 
| grep -e `cat /tmp/workoutgid` \
| -e username_from_Q1 /tmp/workoutgroup | \
| awk -F: '{print $1 "\t:" $3}'
| 
| Q4) on the solaris box what does the following command sequence yield?
| ls -l `echo $CVSROOT |awk -F: '{print $4}'`
| #assuming CVSROOT is set to pserver
