Maybe the program "Active Ports" or "aports" helps but you should note
the
following information from symantec:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/securityrisk.apo
rts.html

Why not simply remove the "write protection"?

I don't know why but when I check out or update JSynthLib stuff
the files are always write protected.

The global "-w" option doesn't help:
" -w

Make new working files read-write. Overrides the setting of the $CVSREAD
environment variable. Files are created read-write by default, unless
$CVSREAD is set or `-r' is given."

E.g. I used this command:
cvs -w up -dP

Cheers,
Joachim

	Hi there,
=09
	I started to work on support for Dave Smith Instruments' Evolver
the other day. A first version of a single driver is finished and will
be tested on the weekend hopefully.
=09
	I stumbled across the following problems:
=09
	1.) CVS checkout via pserver did not work for me. This seems to
be caused by firewall settings on my adsl router or in Windows XP. Could
anyone give me advice on how to configure these? Inbound connections for
the port 2401 are allowed and forwarded to my client pc in the router.
CVS checkout via port 443 as described in the SourceForge documentation
on firewalled access works fine though...
=09
	2.) The file synthdrivers.properties seems to be write protected
in the CVS which raises an exception when running core/DeviceListWriter.

	Cheers,
	Daniel

Thank you for this information. I will eventually take a look at
portscanners. For now the solution with port 443 works quite well.

I did that, of course. But before doing so my first attempt was to look int=
o
DeviceListWriter to make sure that everything was set up correctly in there=
.
So it took me some minutes to find the problem...

A solution could be to delete synthdrivers.properties in the repository and
re-submitting it as read-write file. Otherwise I would recommend to mention
the problem in the Programming Documentation. It would make life a little
bit simpler for people who want to start writing a new driver.

Done.

Greetings,
