Elfwyn,

Thanks for the speedy reply! Based on some of the other posts in the
mailing list, I was indeed expecting to see some sort of prompt when I
telnetted.

If I try the cvs -d :pserver:USER@SERVER:/path/to/cvsroot login' command
as you suggested, I get prompted for the login id and password (which
are subsequently rejected), but that's another problem in and of
itself...  So it looks like my setup was correct after all.

Melonie

When you telnet to port 2401 (the pserver) your not supposed to actually
get a login prompt like telnet or ftp gives you. The pserver will just
wait for the auth protocol. What happens when you try `cvs -d
:pserver:USER@SERVER:/path/to/cvsroot login'?

If that doesn't work you may have a mis-configuration... How did you set
up inetd? Here's my cvspserver directive in inetd.conf:

  cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs
--allow-root=/repos/cvs pserver

Also have you added the following to your
C:WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\services?

  cvspserver       2401/tcp
