Hi there
I have 2 computer, one is winxp and eclipse (java IDE) is install on that
machine (192.168.1.100), and the other machine is Linux (fedora) -ip
192.168.1.100) and the cvs installed there.. I did the following to install
cvs

Then I did the following configuration

I logged on as a root
1) went to /home and create a folder called cvs
2) I did  this --> export CVSROOT=:local:/home/cvs
3) then  --->cvs init
4) created a file  /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver  and put the following

service cvspserver
{
   socket_type = stream
   wait        = no
   user        = root
   group       = cvsgroup
   env     = HOME=/cvsrepo # Fixes RHL 7.0 problem!
   server      = /usr/bin/cvs # Or path to your cvs binary
   server_args = -f --allow-root=<your cvs ropos root> pserver
   disable     = no
}

5) I did the following
service xinetd stop
service xinetd start

Then I went to the cvs client (Eclipse) and configure it as the following

-host:          192.168.1.101
-repository bath: /home/cvs
-user:           me (sometime i used root too)
-password:  whatever
-connection:  pserver

I got error message "communication error" (could not connect to
192.168.1.101)
Any help would be very much appreciate it . Thank a lot.
