Hi Roland,

Sorry I was thinking you were trying to checkin some files into the repository.
This repository has read permissions for the cvs_anon and I will be looking into the issue.

Thanks
Dilip

It hangs as well if I use:

cvs -d:pserver:rhaas at cvs.cct.lsu.edu/numrel login
<Enter rhaas CVS password>
cvs -d:pserver:rhaas at cvs.cct.lsu.edu/numrel update

Also I checked the repository out using cvs_anon so am surprised that I 
cannot update my local copy using cvs_anon as well.

This repository is used to distribute a Cactus thorn 
(QuasiLocalMeasures) for the EinsteinToolkit. The aim is to make the 
thorn (module) available to the general public, who will not have cct 
CVS accounts. So if a CVS account is needed then users will not be able 
to update the code even though they could delete their current copy and 
checkout the newest version again.

Yours,
Roland

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

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
