An Example CVS Clinet : esdslx 02 CVS “Server”: slcsun 1 Connecting with RSH • Verify if rsh works • Enable RSH # rsh -l jingchen slcsun 1 'echo $PATH‘ …/u/cd/jingchen/bin: /usr/local/bin: /usr/afsws/bin… # cat /etc/inetd. conf shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/tcpd /usr/sbin/in. rshd # cat. rhosts esdslx 02. slac. stanford. edu jingchen • Remote CVS via rsh # cvs -d : ext: slcsun 1: /afs/slac/g/cd/soft/slaconly/cvs checkout script cvs server: Updating script • Verify if CVS is available Connecting with SSH # which cvs /usr/local/bin/cvs • Verify if rsh is disabled No need to start a CVS server daemon! # rsh slcsun 1 ls permission denied • CVS repository accessible via AFS # ls /afs/slac/g/cd/soft/slaconly/cvs • Remote CVS via ssh Connecting with SSH # setenv CVS_RSH ssh # cvs -d : ext: slcsun 1: /afs/slac/g/cd/soft/slaconly/cvs checkout script • Disable RSH # mv. rhosts. old

CVS Client on VMS • Tests done: – Made SSH 2 available – Enabled RSH • CVS server on UNIX – No particular requirement (or setup) – access to AFS or/and NFS (CVS respository , reference) /usr/local/bin/cvs available – A test: linux (client) -> slcsun 1 (server) working!!! • Conclusion: – SSH no longer an issue! – Server is OK! • Ken. B in progress “… the VMS side will work. The AFS token is another issue. We need to set up an account, if we can, that does not have a

CVS Client on NT • Test with Netbean (Greg) • A simple test – – From NT command line (DOS) Software: Component. Software CVS for Windows http: //www. componentsoftware. com/products/cvs/ Setup and test
