Hello, all ...

I'm trying to set up a CVS server on my Gentoo box, and i'm having a few difficulties. I followed the instructions on this wiki:

gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_CVS_Server

... but they seem to be incorrect (under Apply Correct Permissions, there is a line that says "# chmod -R 775 /var/lib/cvsd/var", but there is no var directory under /var/lib/cvsd on my Gentoo box).

Anyway, I made a change to /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf (enabled a repository), but now when I try to restart cvsd, I get this:

jmzorko@pugspoo ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/cvsd restart
* Stopping cvsd ... [ !! ]
jmzorko@pugspoo ~ $

... and I don't see anything in /var/log/messages, or /var/log/much-of-anything, or dmesg, that would give me a clue as to why cvsd won't stop (it is running).

Any help would be appreciated -- i've loads of C++ and Perl code (that runs on Mac OSX as well as Linux) that wants to be centrally managed :-)

Regards,

John
