Hello! I hope someone can help me out; I am trying to "update" from samba 2 to 3. When i type the following command:

cvs update -d -P

I get this error: pserver:unknown user

I am following the guide from the pserver.samba.org site. Thanks for any help or response. This is what i am doing from the konsole:


  1.. Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a copy of the cvs client binary. 
  2.. run the command 
    cvs -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot login 
  3.. when it asks you for a password type cvs 
  4.. run the command 
    cvs -z5 -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co samba 
  This will create a directory called samba containing the latest samba source code. This corresponds to the HEAD development branch. 

  If you want the latest 3.0 development code, use the SAMBA_3_0 tag. 

    cvs -z5 -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_3_0 samba 
  5.. Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use the following command from within the samba directory: 
    cvs update -d -P
