CVS access denied to anonymous users?

[Daniele De Francesco-2]

I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing my same problem:
I can't connect to the cvs server as an anonymous user.

Is this some scheduled maintainance or is it just me ? I'm just using the
same commands I've always used:
cvs -p:pserver:[hidden email]:/cvsroot/quantlib login

Any help would be more than appreciated... :-)

Daniele,
        that would be cvs -d, right?
However, I just checked and I have the same problem--I can't connect  
via anonymous CVS. Moreover, a bit of investigation reveals that:
- I can connect just fine via SSH as a developer;
- I can connect just fine to other SF projects via anonymous CVS;
- The web interface to CVS is broken (but it works for other projects.)

Nando, did you change any settings lately?

Yes, that was -d

The cvs repository can't even be browsed from the sourceforge website. It
seems that something is very wrong with the settings.... It's been happening
over time. I first noticed it about two hours ago. This is the history of my
errors... Over time they have changed even though I was always issuing the
same command.


cvs [diff aborted]: authorization failed: server cvs.quantlib.org rejected
access to /cvsroot/quantlib for user anonymous

cvs [diff aborted]: connect to cvs.quantlib.org:2401 failed: No connection
could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

cvs [diff aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.quantlib.org: M
PserverBackend::PserverBackend() Connect (Connection refused)


Tomorrow it's a working day in the States... I suppose you and Nando will
have the day off tomorrow, but I'd really really appreciate it if you could
fix it so that I can continue working...  :-)

Thanks!

Yes, that's the same error I get.

True.

Hmm, I don't know. If you're lucky, Nando made some changes and he will  
revert them, which hopefully will take a minute. If you're not, we'll  
have to call in the SF admins, which will take a bit longer...

As an aside, how comes you're depending on the latest CVS for working?  
It's a dangerous stunt to pull--it's not even guaranteed to compile at  
all times...

I'll cross my fingers...

I'm not as crazy as I seem. I mostly depend on the CVS for diffs. This way I
can keep track of our local changes and when something goes wrong (like now)
I will quickly find the problem...

have you tried with cvs.quantlib.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/quantlib ?
Just in case there is a problem with solving cvs.quantlib.org

ciao -- Nando

[Daniele De Francesco-2]

I Tried that now that you suggested it, but I get exactly the same error.

I have tried:
cvs.quantlib.sourceforge.net
cvs.quantlib.org
cvs.sourceforge.net

Same error on all of them:

unrecognized auth response from cvs.quantlib.org: M
PserverBackend::PserverBackend() Connect (Connection refused)


:-(

Hi all,
        for some mysterious reason (which I'd rather not investigate  
right now,) both anonymous CVS and web CVS started working again.

Cheers,
