Hi,
Im trying to get a CVSNT server setup. But I can't seam to get it all
the way.
 
First some facts:
ServerOS: FreeBSD 4.10
CVSNT: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.51 (client/server)
cvsroot: /home/cvsroot
 
I installed cvsnt trough FreeBSDs port system. 
 
First I copied the PServer.example to PServer and set it like this
(striped all comments).
 
Repository0=/home/cvsroot/cvstest
Repository0Name=/cvstest
LockServer=localhost:2402
 
 
Then I made sure that cvslockd got started (and enabled in rc.conf) at
port 2402. After that I added the following line to inetd.conf 
 
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs -f authserver
 
and in services
 
cvspserver      2401/tcp
 
Then I restarted inetd. And tested I if could connect to the ports (2401
and 2402) trough telnet, they are both working.
 
Then I created an repository in /home/cvsroot/cvstest
 
set CVSROOT to :local:/home/cvsroot/cvstest
 
then ran 
 
cvs init
 
Checked to see that the CVSROOT foler got created.
 
added my systemuser to admin then ran
 
cvs passwd -a username
 
then I tryed to connect from my workstation (trough Intellij IDEA) using
 
CVSROOT =:pserver:username at serverip:2401:/home/cvsroot/cvstest
 
Then I got the following error:
:pserver:kristoffer at pugnax.com:2401:/home/cvsroot/cvstest
 
Then I tought that maybe its IDEA that has problems. So I set the
CVSROOT on the server to
 
CVSROOT =:pserver:username at serverip:2401:/home/cvsroot/cvstest
 
and ran
 
cvs login
 
and I got the exact same error (so IDEA is not at fault).
 
then set CVSROOT to :local:/home/cvsroot/cvs
 
and found the command
 
cvs info
 
when I ran it I got this:
Available protocols:
 
local               (internal)
 
So there was the problem cvs couldn't find the protocols.
 
To the question:
How can I make cvsnt understand that they are installed? (the .so files
are in the lib/cvsnt/ directory)
 
Best regards and a Happy New Year
