Question : CVS No Such Repository error
I am trying to setup a 2nd CVS repository and am receiving the error, 'Error fetching resource listing from repository... 'Connection refused: cvs [pserver aborted]: /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo1: no such repository.'
NOTES:
1. I am able to connect to my existing repository without a problem (it is located in /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo).
2. I've updated inetd.conf and added the --allow-root option for the second repository.
So I am very confused as to why I am unable to connect to the new repository.
Here's what my inetd.conf looks like:
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs --allow-root=/var/lib/cvsd
/cvsrepo --allow-root=/var/lib/cvsd
/cvsrepo1 pserver
Here's the directory structure & permissions for the repository which is working properly:
steve@rc-dev:/var/lib/cvsd

Answer : CVS No Such Repository error
I found the issue. While inetd.conf had configuration lines regarding CVS, the actual configuration was using the newer xinetd.conf. I updated the server_args parameter with the additional repository paths and all works properly now. Here's an example should anyone else stumble upon this (take note of the multiple '--allow-root' parameters and associated paths)
service cvspserver
{
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
type = UNLISTED
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo --allow-root /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo1 --allow-root /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo2 pserver
disable = no
}
