Re: CVS pserver login problem

[Adam Vainder]

All,

I made the changes you all suggested, and tried it from another machine. I 
was able to connect and get a message other than EOF (it was a refusal, but 
just means i need to double-check my pwd :-P )

So it is probably an issue with my firewall, even htough I thought I had
all the right ports open. Apparently I'm missing the ones I needed. 

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Adam
