Mart{i,y}n et al,

I'm having a bit of a problem setting up my git-cvsserver. I think I have followed the man page, but this is the only real response I get:

    $ setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@jdl.com:/pub/..../foo.git
    $ cvs co master cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response
      from jdl.com: Unknown command BEGIN AUTH REQUEST at
      /usr/bin/git-cvsserver line 132, <STDIN> line 1.

I've installed DBD:SQLite, but I don't know if it is working or not. Not sure what file it would create in my repo if it was working properly. I've made the bare repo directory be mode 777 just to be sure it is writable by "nobody."

My client is 1.12.9.

I have enabled it the config file, and set a log file, but I get no output. Do I need to enable the output somehow? Other debug enabling bits to turn on for more help here?

Have I missed some obvious step? You know, intuit my problem from my sparse description! :-) Well, or tell me what else you need to know...

Thanks, jdl
