[Cvs-nserver-users] getting pserver/nserver working...

[Jens R. <mai...@ed...>]

Hi there,

perhaps anyone out there can help me.

I'm getting stuck for hours now, and can't even imagine a way to get it
working now. I've tried anything, I believe possible.

I compiled the actual 1.11.1.4 version. installed to /usr. I've set up the
repositories /CVS/PHP /CVS/JAVA and did a cvs init on them.
Now I've compiled the checkpassword-pam package to use the pam to
authenticate against a win2k domain.
As you can see it's up an running:

--cut--
root@cvsserver:~ # echo -e
"econe\\jrosenthal\0steeler#\00"|checkpassword-pam -s
cvspserver --stdin --stdout --debug
Reading username and password
Username 'econe\jrosenthal'
Password read successfully
Initializing PAM library using service name 'cvspserver'
Pam library initialization succeeded
conversation(): msg[0], style PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF, msg = "Password: "
Authentication passed
Account management succeeded
Setting PAM credentials succeeded
Terminating PAM library
Exiting with status 0
--/cut---

So it should be posible to get the server up, but I can't figure out how to
set up the script to handle the network connection.

I took the script from the INSTALL-file/FAQ:

--cut--
#!/bin/sh

exec /usr/bin/cvs-pserver /CVS/PHP /CVS/JAVA -- \
/usr/bin/checkpassword-pam /usr/bin/cvs pserver
--/cut--

using this the result is the following:

--cut--
root@cvsserver:~ # ngrep -e [a-zA-Z0-9] tcp port 2401
interface: eth0 (10.21.48.0/255.255.254.0)
filter: ip and ( tcp port 2401 )
match: [a-zA-Z0-9]
######

  BEGIN VERIFICATION REQUEST.

experimenting delivered me a slightly better result:

--cut--
#!/bin/sh

/usr/local/bin/checkpassword-pam -- \
/usr/bin/cvs-pserver /CVS/PHP /CVS/JAVA -- \
/usr/bin/cvs pserver
--/cut--

leads to this...

--cut--
root@cvsserver:~ # ngrep -e [a-zA-Z0-9] tcp port 2401
interface: eth0 (10.21.48.0/255.255.254.0)
filter: ip and ( tcp port 2401 )
match: [a-zA-Z0-9]

I just can't find any way to even get it working without pam...

I would appreciate any help I can get.

thanx in advance,
