I know this worked once, and my repository config file has my real
password.
Somehow though -- although
the other values are being taken from my repository config, the password
is
being reported as blank, and
so the repository name is being used as a password. Could something I
checked out interfere? Could something
I set in one of the other config files interfere? Any pointers
appreciated.
 
Attempting to run:
 
                      C:\Gump\workspace>update trysybase
                      cvs -z3 -d
:pserver:xxx@xxxx.trysybase.com:/xxxx/cvsroot checkout -P
(repository name)
 
                      cvs checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs
login' with a real password
 
                      cvs [checkout aborted]: authorization failed:
server xxxx.trysybase.com
rejected
                      access to /xxxx/cvsroot for user xxx
 
                      C:\Gump\workspace>
 
Config:
 
<repository name="trysybase" type="cvs">
  <title>TrySybase</title>
  <home-page>http://www.TrySybase.com/</home-page>
 
  <root>
    <method>pserver</method>
    <user>xxxx</user>
    <password>REAL PASSWORD HERE</password>
    <hostname>xxxx.trysybase.com</hostname>
    <path>/xxxx/cvsroot</path>
  </root>
</repository>

It now works ... but I sure can't recall what the fix is (was). If I were to
guess it'd be along the lines of the ~/.cvspass file (that CVS uses to store
logins) has an entry in it that is wrong. Gump appends new logins to the end
of that file, it isn't good at taking out old ones. Remove such a line (if
present) or even the whole file (unless you use that account for other
stuff), and see what transpires.

Good luck, and feel free to send this list the CVS command output. It might
give others some ideas.

regards,

Adam
