You want to check for messages from CVS itself, not inetd. > Why is it giving this error.

When this happens, the server should log a message under the DAEMON facility that says either "login refused for <repository>" (which indicates that the specified repository isn't valid) or "login failure (for <repository>)" (which indicates that either the username or passwordisn't valid). In the later case, if your system has an AUTHPRIV facility, it will also log a message there containing the username and password. Since it looks like the specified repository exactly matches the --allow-root= option in inetd.conf, I'd say either the username or password isn't right: are you using a $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file or system authorization? -Larry Jones I'm crying because out there he's gone, but he's not gone inside me. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
