Btw, CVS's pserver is for anonymous access only. Authenticated access is performed via SSH.

Ok, thanks for your time. I have emailed our IT guys, so fingers crossed.

Hi,

The problem seems to be with your network blocking port 2401.
I get this:

sr@host:~$ telnet cvs.savannah.gnu.org 2401
Trying 199.232.41.69...
Connected to cvs.savannah.gnu.org.
Escape character is '^]'.

cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start:

Connection closed by foreign host.
sr@host:~$

CVS's pserver is required for access to Savannah's CVS repositories, for both anonymous and login access.


Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. This is the text from my terminal.

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co .
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to cvs.savannah.gnu.org(199.232.41.69):2401 failed: Connection refused

I am on a corporate intranet, but we don't have any blocking policy that I am aware of. I can ping the server ok. Here is some more things I have tried:

So it looks like the port is a problem.

telnet cvs.savannah.gnu.org 2401
Trying 199.232.41.69...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
greg@nova1 bin :( $telnet cvs.savannah.gnu.org 80 
Trying 199.232.41.69...
Connected to cvs.savannah.gnu.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> Connection closed.

Hi,

The administration project does not have an emacs module, so CVS correctly fails. (Your first command)

The emacs documentation at https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs does not say to run either of the commands you have tried. The commands given in the documentation for anonymous access are correct. (The module name I used was "emacs")

However,

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co .

Also works for me.

If you're still having problems with it, can you paste in the whole terminal output of what you're trying?

Regards,

Steven

The following command is from the emacs CVS documentation:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/administration co emacs

I get connection refused when trying to use it. I tried 'login' as well, and a password of password (after looking through the database this seemed to have worked in the past).

Please help!
