RE: [eclipse-dev] PROBLEMS Using CVS from Eclipse
|
All right ! Thank you very much ! (to all)
After the first mail I received from Matt I started to look up for
"Cederquist Manual" in www.google.com and I found this link:
http://controls.ae.gatech.edu/labs/gtar/notes/
under the title "When something does not work look here"...
and I have to believe it !
Here's a copy of the text:
-------------------------
>Having problems with CVS and pserver ?
>Did you get something like this when you have your cvs root to be
>CVSROOT=:pserver:xxx.gatech.edu:/cvs/cvsroot ?
>The error message:
>cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
>cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied
>Since the inetd entry recommended by the Cederquist manual is
>cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs
>--allow-root=/cvs/cvsroot
>For some reason when (running on Redhat 6.1) the command inherits the

I tried it and it worked well. Thanks again.
