I am sure this has been asked a few time, but I can't find and answer to it. When I try to login to myb cvs account on a RH linux machine from a winXP machine. I get the following error cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from 192.168.50.50: Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments] What could be the problem. When I creat my passwd file and writers file do I need to "cvs add" them to the cvs or do I just need to create them and stick them in the directory? If I do need to add the via cvs do I have to check them out to edit them? This is what I Have from my cvspserver in the xinetd.d file service cvspserver { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root group = cvsusers passenv = PATH server = /usr/bin/cvs server-args = -f --allow-root=/var/lib/cvsroot pserver } my passwd file is set up like anonymous: me : lskfiekclsa someonelse : mccoiwikj lastperson : lkjfajfdjasd : cvsd There are no spaces I added them for easy reading purposes and yes there is a space at the end of my passwd and writers file.
