Hi Roland,

I see you using cvs_anon username for update, which will have only read access for any repository.
Please use your cvs username and password for update the cvs repository.

Thanks
Dilip

I am having trouble *updating* cvs repositories hosted at 
asylum.cct.lsu.edu from outside of the LSU network. The initial checkout 
works fine and if I log into say is.cct.lsu.edu I can also update. These 
are the steps that allow me to reproduce the problem:

[rhaas3 at phys44230 tmp]$ cvs -d:pserver:cvs_anon at cvs.cct.lsu.edu/numrel login
<Enter: anon as password>
[rhaas3 at phys44230 tmp]$ cvs -d:pserver:cvs_anon at cvs.cct.lsu.edu/numrel 
co LSUThorns/QuasiLocalMeasures
[rhaas3 at phys44230 tmp]$ cd LSUThorns/QuasiLocalMeasures/
[rhaas3 at phys44230 QuasiLocalMeasures]$ cvs update
... stalls ...

With 'strace cvs update' I get as one of the last few lines:

mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) 
= 0x2b773e4c6000
lseek(4, 0, SEEK_CUR)                   = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
write(3, "BEGIN AUTH REQUEST\n/numrel\ncvs_a"..., 59) = 59

cvs [update aborted]: received termination signal

where the termination signal is I pressing CTRL-C. This happens on both 
my workstation (Gergia Tech) and on TACC Ranger but not from is.cct.lsu.edu.

I also see:

[rhaas3 at phys44230 m]$ netstat --tcp -p | grep cvs
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
  will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp        0     59 phys44230.physics.gat:47852 
asylum.cct.lsu.e:cvspserver ESTABLISHED 9837/cvs

The CVS version at GT is 1.11.22 on Ranger 1.11.17 and on is.cct.lsu.edu 
1.11.22. This is rather baffling.

Yours,
Roland
