Hello,

I'm running a cvs pserver on one machine. The line from inetd.conf on
the server machine:

cvspserver stream  tcp  nowait  root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=/usr/local/CVS 
pserver

from the client:

I can cvs login successfully to the cvs pserver machine.

but then, i attempt:

$ cvs -f -d :pserver:wlestes@michael:/usr/local/CVS checkout wlcd
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied

why is cvs even *looking* in root's home directory for anything? and
how can this bug be fixed?

Thanks,

--Will
