I have been having problems login to cvs using pserver I have now 
changed the entry in inetd.conf to "cvspserver stream tcp nowait 
root /usr/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/home/cvsroot pserver". This has 
fixed part of the problem and I can now log in from our windows 
terminal using WinCVS, however, when I try to check out a module I 
get the following error:
cvs login 
(Logging in to scowling@cvssrv)

*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****

cvs checkout Test2 (in directory C:\WORKAREA)
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****
Has any body seen this before, I done understand why cvs is looking 
to /root for its files. I am running version 1.10.7
Cheers for your help
Steve Cowling
