Setup CVS server on Solaris Nevada build 59

Sunday Apr 08, 2007

Do following as root privilege.

1. Download cvs pkg from sunfreeware.com, and install it
   http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc10.html#cvs
2. # vi /etc/services
   append one new line: cvspserver      2401/tcp      # CVS pserver daemon
3. # vi /etc/inetd.conf
   append one new line: cvspserver  stream  tcp  nowait  root /workspace/scm/cvs/bin/cvs.inetd
4. # cat <<EOF >/workspace/scm/cvs/bin/cvs.inetdcvs.inetd
   > #!/bin/bash
   >
   > REPOS="--allow-root=/workspace/scm/cvs/cvsroot/test"
   >
   > /workspace/scm/cvs/bin/cvs -f $REPOS pserver
   > EOF
   
5. # chmod a+x /workspace/scm/cvs/bin/cvs.inetdcvs.inetd
6. # mkdir -p /workspace/scm/cvs/cvsroot/test
7. # cvs -d /workspace/scm/cvs/cvsroot/test init
8. # reboot
   
9. 
   
10. Done.
    

It seems that this is bug that we need to reboot the OS to make cvs server work.
Believe me, I tried many ways to avoid this but failed

1. # svcs -p |grep inetd
   online         Apr_06   svc:/network/inetd:default
2. # svcs restart svc:/network/inetd:default
3. # inetadm | grep cvs
   
4. [no out put, failed #1]
5. 
   
6. # init S
7. # init 3
8. # inetadm | grep cvs
   
9. [no out put, failed #2]
10. 
    
11. # reboot
12. # inetadm | grep cvs
    enabled   online         svc:/network/cvspserver/tcp:default
13. [works now :( ]
14.
