There are at least 6 protocols to access CVS (and a geometric number of combinations)..... So if you are the Linux client behind an ISA box and trying to reach the server over the internet, make sure ISA is set as your default gateway and HTTP proxy. You might also have to check out inetd.conf (the exact .conf name escapes me right now, not enough coffee) for your IP settings, the defaults might be misaligned with using HTTP 1.1 with/out a proxy. If the CVS (is it CVS or CVSNT?) server is running another protocol, then make sure SOCKS4 proxying is set on on ISA (or install/activate SOCKS5 from the ISA SDK) and try that one; many repositories on the internet use SSH2 (most secure and usually faster), so that might be an option. What error message are you getting, exactly, on the client? Are any alerts or Event Log messages popping up on the ISA box? "CVS doesn't work on Linux from behind ISA" isn't all that descriptive. Besides, ISA cost you more than the RedHat install, so apply the bat according to potential cost-loss. ;) -----orig From: Ray Dzek [mailto:rdzek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Subject: [isalist] CVS Does Not Work From Behind ISA So... I'm trying to build another Redhat box, and one of the install packages suggests I use CVS to grab the updated source code and recompile. No problem, right? You just run a couple of command lines and your source tree is updated and then you can recompile and install the new updated binaries. It sounds more complicated than it really is except for one thing... CVS doesn't work on Linux from behind ISA There is nothing in the Knowledge Base and scant information after searching Google. Anybody have any ideas before I take a baseball bat to ISA? Thanks all! NOTICE: This communication, including attachments, is information that is confidential and may be privileged.
