Another little problem I am now having on CentOS 5.2 that I was not seeing on FC8: [mrichter at sushi lane]$ cvs update poll: protocol failure in circuit setup cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) I could understand if there was something that had changed from FC1 to CentOS 5.2, but if it works in FC8, why not here? Here's what's in the CVS directory and files: [mrichter at sushi lane]$ ls CVS Entries Repository Root Tag [mrichter at sushi lane]$ for i in CVS/*; do echo $i; cat $i; echo ""; done CVS/Entries /Makefile.template/1.2/Thu Oct 6 19:06:14 2005//TDEV_608 /makefile.include/2.6/Wed Dec 6 21:58:01 2006//TDEV_608 D/bin//// D/cron_jobs//// D/devices//// D/doc//// D/drivers//// D/include//// D/lanecon//// D/lib_src//// D/main//// D/parser//// D/sim//// D/tcautil//// D/viewcon//// D/webmon//// /Makefile/1.2/Fri Jul 4 23:22:10 2008//TDEV_608 CVS/Repository linuxlane/lane CVS/Root khan:/home/stage/CVS CVS/Tag TDEV_608 (Khan is our main file server, and it's running a Linux that's even older than FC1 - not sure what: [mrichter at khan mrichter]$ uname -a Linux khan 2.4.21-15.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Apr 22 00:18:24 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Our execution/test server is viper, with FC1: [mrichter at viper lane]$ uname -a Linux viper 2.4.23HZ_opt #12 Fri Apr 1 13:57:09 PST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux What command tells me which distro I'm on? I forget....) I'm a little rusty on my cvs mastery (?) but most of this looks ok to me, and, as I mentioned, it works in FC8, but not CentOS 5.2. Any ideas/suggestions/etc? Thanks. mhr
