Hi,

On AIX 5.3 I am trying to install 1.11.22

oncurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.22 (client/server)

I have defined following on /etc/services

pserver 2401/tcp # CVS Port Number
pserver 2401/udp # CVS Port Number


In /etc/inetd.conf I have added following line

pserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f
--allow-root=/apps/cvsroot pserver

I have copied CVS 1.11.22 files, But when I am trying
# refresh -s inetd
0513-095 The request for subsystem refresh was completed successfully.

***@mumsa001207[:/]#telnet sa001207 pserver

Connection closed.
root@[:/]#

#netstat -an |grep -i 2401

But it is not showing port 2401 as LISTEN.

Request you to help me urgently on this.

thanks & regards

CVS doesn't use UDP, so there's no need for the second line.

Does ``telnet sa001207 2401'' work the same as above? If so, inetd and
CVS are both working fine but it would appear that something is wrong
with netstat. If not, there must be another definition of the pserver
service that is taking priority over the one you show above -- perhaps
another entry in /etc/services or perhaps an entry in NIS (aka Yellow
Pages).

This is more of a system administration question than a CVS question, so
you may want to find an AIX list to ask for help.

Hi,

Thanks for your valuable information. I have changed following

pserver9 2401/tcp # CVS Port Number
pserver9 2401/udp # CVS Port Number

and in inetd.conf

pserver9 stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f
--allow-root=/apps/cvsroot pserver9

Now CVS is working fine on AIX 5.3

thanks & regards

To install it, just unzip it, rename it to "cvs", make sure the
permissions are set to allow it to be executed, and move it to some
directory on your path (e.g., /usr/local/bin). For configuration, see
the manual:
