Is there a reason not to use ssh? Just asking.

Can you do a sample checking locally?

cvs import sandbox sandbox start

> cvs -d :pserver:mjl@localhost:/usr/local/cvs login
> Logging in to :pserver:mjl@localhost:2401/usr/local/cvs

Locally do ls /usr/local/cvs and post here.

Once we are sure this works flawlessly locally, we can work out the
networking kinks. I find that using ssh is at least as easy as pserver,
and more secure. I've always had a few snags in getting pservers set up
and they seem to be a bit of a hole anyway.

good luck,


Fred
