Problem reaching CVS

[fredrikhultin]

Hi,
I have had lots of problem checking out the latest code. Has something changed or is the server down?

Cheers

I just want to say that i also have the problems.
I get either
$ cvs -q update -dP
cvs [update aborted]: connect to cvs.jboss.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.207):2401 failed: Connection refused

either
$ cvs -q update -dP
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

or now
$ cvs -q update -dP
cvs update: authorization failed: server cvs.jboss.sourceforge.net rejected access to /cvsroot/jboss for user anonymous
cvs update: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password

no fun at all

there is a dayly snapshot of the nukes module of the CVS, you can reach it by going on the nukes project page.

This is a bit late, but might help others who are searching the forums:

Make sure you don't have a firewall blocking port 2401 outbound (as my company did).

The workaround would be to do the following:

Try hitting it on something that might not be blocked by the firewall (change port and URL):

cvs -d:pserver:[e-mail]:443/cvsroot/jboss login

This worked for me. For more info see:
