I just installed CVS 1.10 on Solaris 7, and tried to set up the pserver
connection.

The following entry is added to the /etc/inetd.conf file:

cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs
   cvs --allow-root=/export/projects/cvsroot pserver

The following entry is added to the /etc/services file:

cvspserver      2401/tcp                        # CVS pserver



On the client machine, trying to establish a connection with server via cvs
login generate the following error message:

> printenv CVSROOT
:pserver:davidliu@crater:/export/projects/cvsroot

> cvs login
(Logging in to davidliu@crater)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from crater: cvs pserver: No
CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option

Telnet to port 2401 on server generates the same "No CVSROOT specified"
error message.

>telnet crater 2401
cvs pserver: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the '-d' option
cvs [pserver aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
Connection closed by foregn host.
