Description of problem: On my 64-bit system, cvsps makes a bogus attempt to connect to 255.255.255.255 because it fails to determine whether the given hostname could be parsed as a dotted-decimal IP address. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cvsps-2.2-0.4.b1.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. rm -f ~/.cvsps/":pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:#cvs#pkgs#rpms#cvsps" 2. strace -e trace=connect cvsps --cvs-direct --root :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/pkgs rpms/cvsps Actual results: connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(2401), sin_addr=inet_addr("255.255.255.255")}, 16) = -1 ENETUNREACH (Network is unreachable) connect error: Network is unreachable --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- WARNING: malformed CVS version: no data WARNING: malformed CVS version str: (UNKNOWN CLIENT) WARNING: Your CVS client version: [(UNKNOWN CLIENT)] and/or server version: [(UNKNOWN SERVER)] are too old to properly support the rlog command. This command was introduced in 1.11.1. Cvsps will use log instead, but PatchSet numbering may become unstable due to pruned empty directories. cvs log: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option cvs [log aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable. --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- Expected results: Successful connection and output.

Thanks for the detailed report and sorry about the delay. Building with -DLINUX circumvents the issue and is a patch-free approach, so I opted to use that. Updates will follow shortly.

I suggest contacting the RHEL6 cvsps maintainer, and while at it, checking whether the RHEL6 one will properly update the EPEL5 one.
