Re: password authentication problem

Hi,

Regarding the path /usr/local/cvsrep

This looks like this path is to the local hard disk. The CVS implements its own folder structure that starts at /usr/local/cvsrep and would be the CVS root. The folders in the CVS root are the top level repositories.

So if I had a repository called MyProjects, there would be a local folder called /usr/local/cvsrep/MyProjects. The correct CVSROOT would be :pserver:[email protected]:/MyProjects. I believe when you login you much specify a specific repository because the folder permissions are the what determine your level of access. So in your case your login command line should be

  cvs -z9 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/MyProjects login 

I hope that helps.
