I don't want to make a problem report out of it at the moment without having discussed this in the list: A user came to me today who is maintaing his whole stuff, projects, thesis and such using cvs - not a bad idea as such. And during investigating his problem I came to the conclusion that there might be some NIS/yp problem. I created a directory /a/kuku/cvsroot on hub.freebsd.org, imported a tree as a new project, and did a checkout on hub having set my CVSROOT variable to /a/kuku/cvsroot. Now I went to my local machine (gil) and set my CVSROOT variable to :ext:kuku@hub.freebsd.org:/a/kuku/cvsroot and did a cvs checkout test I got: gil> cvs checkout test cvs server: Updating test U test/test.c gil> Fine. Now I do the same on my NIS machine (the NIS server): toots> cvs checkout test cvs [checkout aborted]: unknown access method: ext toots> (this appears very quickly after launching the command so I assume it is a decision taken by the client locally) What's this? A NIS problem? I browsed the cvs source (contrib) but didn't find a source location that matched the message exactly though it must be something with the server access method in client.c I suspect. -- Chris Christoph P.
