I too was experiencing the /root/.cvsignore problem and joined this list
specifically to solve it. But before I could post the question, I found
it in the archives already answered. Restarted the computer and init
started inet (instead of /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart as root) and it
works fine now <sigh>.
To answer one question that was posed, YES it should be in the FAQ
and/or the FAQ-o-matic. I too am running on a RedHat 6.x system, so you
might get a few people running the cvs server on other Linux OS's to see
if they experience the same problem.
Rebooting a machine is a Windows solution. It should not be a Linux
solution because rebooting is for adding new hardware and kernel
upgrades. Is the more permanent solution to add the following line in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet:
HOME=
then have it call 'daemon inetd'? Or is it more complicated than that?
