I've setup a cvs repository with password-authenticated access. Among other things, I've created a CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file that looks like this: csc228:$1$kkd[...]5grGZN0:csc228 dummy:$1$lh9M[...]lAur4G/:antipode I have gotten both of the password strings by copying them from /etc/master.passw. The weird behavior I'm observing is as follows: I can "cvs login" and work with the repository from a machine on my home LAN as both "csc228", and "dummy" w/o a problem. I just set CVSROOT=:pserver:dummy@door:/cvs, and everything is peachy. However, when accessing the machine from the outside, I can only login as "csc228". Cannot login as dummy!!! CVSROOT is set to :pserver:dummy@wgaf.dyndns.org:/cvs In case it matters, the remote machine is a Solaris workstation at school. It seems very strange, because, as I said, I can login as "csc228" from the same machine, and work with the repository. ,----- External connection error: | eddie:~$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:dummy@wgaf.dyndns.org:/cvs | eddie:~$ cvs login | (Logging in to dummy@wgaf.dyndns.org) | CVS password: | cvs [login aborted]: incorrect password `----- ,----- Internal connection success: | main:~$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:dummy@door:/cvs | main:~$ cvs login | (Logging in to dummy@door) | CVS password: | main:~$ `----- Any ideas?
