[cvsnt] CVS HEAD stuck?!?

Christia,

Yep I think that explains it. I can't be entirely sure but I do remember
that a release around that time had a problem if encryption and
compression were enabled - but was resolved in a later release and that
is what you are seeing.

Regards,


Arthur

Fair enough. I did only want to install 1.8.31 though which is the
stable version but it has the problem below. I just tried the upcoming
RC to see if it was OK. And generally it was except it ran the
servers/services.

I enabled "Allow clients to trace server" on the advanced tab - I assume
that's the same thing. However it doesn't seem to make a difference
whether it's enabled or not. I always get the same result so I'm not
100% sure what you are suggest is correctly enabled.

14:45:13:   -> Tracelevel set to 3.  PID is 3808
14:45:13:   -> Session ID is ee0462861790bfc
14:45:13:   -> Session time is Fri Apr 20 06:45:13 2007
14:45:13:   -> Loading protocol sserver as sserver_protocol.dll
14:45:13:   -> CLibraryAccess::Load loading
C:\PROGRA~1\TORTOI~1/sserver_protocol.dll
14:45:13:   -> main loop with
CVSROOT=:sserver:<username>@<servername>:2401/EDMI
14:45:28:   -> Encryption enabled
14:45:28:   -> Compression enabled

And that's it... It will just sit there forever (well 5 minutes so far).
Looking on my firewall I can the traffic stopped at 14:45:29

Note I am running the client on a machine in Shanghai, China and the
server is in Australia so it's a little slow. The time before the
"Encryption enabled" message comes up is anywhere between 3 or 4 seconds
and 15 seconds.
