After upgrading from -r2 to -r4 the pserver-entry in /etc/xinetd.d did no longer work. Trying to log in I would only get: Logging in to :pserver:kagouros@crom:2401/export/neshare/CVS CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from crom: cvs: unrecognized option `--allow-root=/export/netshare/CVS' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade to 1.12.12-r4 on a cvs server 2. try to log into this server 3. Actual Results: Logging in to :pserver:kagouros@crom:2401/export/neshare/CVS CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from crom: cvs: unrecognized option `--allow-root=/export/netshare/CVS' Expected Results: loginprompt fallback to -r2 fixed the problem
Do you have CVS on the serer with emerged with USE=server? What version of CVS is on crom, and what version is on your client?
client and server were 1.12.12-r4 no USE=server was not included it is now. It would have been nice, if a warning would have been issued.

"server" functionality should have been enabled by default.
Raphael: I didn't add USE=server support to it, and I do know why Pylon did. The elog is there now, so I'm closing this bug.
