Given this CVS repository location in the CVS Repository Exploring Perspective: :pserver:msw@cvs_server.safeway.com:3401/usr/cvs/root If the user selects Team/Compare With/Revision...(or any CVS-related compare action), the connection times out, and the CVS Repository Exploring Perspective is changed to: :pserver:msw@cvs_server.safeway.com:/usr/cvs/root :pserver:msw@cvs_server.safeway.com:3401/usr/cvs/root Even those CVS operations that succeed, such as commit, create the spurious repository location with the default port.
Are you using the "official" 2.1 release? I am unable to reproduce this using simple scenarios on 2.1 (i.e. I created a repository location with a port specified and Compare, Replace, Commit and other operations work fine without creating another repository location). If you start with a fresh Eclipse, define the repository location using a custom port, checkout a project and perform operations on it, does the problem occur? If so, give the exact steps that you took.
Ok, it looks like I have a more basic problem. I can't see any modules when I try to expand the HEAD tag in the CVS Repository Exploring Perspective. (When I reported the original bug, I had cheated and checked out the project to my Eclipse workspace using WinCVS).

You are using a custom server executable and this is throwing off the message parsing that is used to populate the CVS Repositories View. From the context menu of the repository location, open the Properties page. On the CVS properties page (the only one present), select "Expect a custom program name" (at the bottom) and enter "cvspserver". This should fix the problem. The above should be added to the FAQ.
That did the trick! Thanks very much for your help.
