Hi,
I’m trying to use cvs in pserver mode under QNX RTP 6.1.0A and can’t get rid
of these messages:
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can’t chdir(/root): Permission denied
I’ve configured “cvspserver tcp/2401” in /etc/services and “cvspserver …
/usr/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=xxx pserver” in /etc/inetd.conf.
It is stated in docs that ‘-f’ prevents cvs from looking for rc files in
home directory (/root in that case).
But it doesn’t seem to work this way (it has no effect). Adding ‘chmod a+r
/root’ fixes (sic!) it.
I’ve tried it under Linux and without ‘-f’ there is same result but running
“cvs -f … pserver” makes it work ok.
Is there anything I’m doing wrong or it is a bug ?
Daniel
Has this been resolved?
I’m having the same problem.
