RE: [ECOS] access cvs server problem, please advise

[Jing Luo <Jing at vicom dot com>]

Now, I can't aceess cvs server.

Last Thursday, I can access.

But today, I tried to login or update cvs source, it returned:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos login
Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:2401/cvs/ecos
CVS password:anoncvs

cvs login: failed to open C:\/.cvspass for reading: No such file or
directory
cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting

I can ping sources.redhat.com, but I can't telnet to it.

Jonathan, thanks for your time and suggestions. I've got a
solution. My original downloaded CVS client was from
http://www.cvshome.org/dev/codewindow.html
File is:
http://ftp.cvshome.org/win32/cvs1-11-1p1.zip


I deleted this and loaded the Cygwin version through
my Cygwin setup program.
This one works for me.
I'm running Cygwin on Win2000.

Thanks again.

Pete
