Stupid me, I had the inetd.conf line wrong.
Anyway, "cvs login" works fine now, but when I try to do "cvs co CVSROOT" this
is what I get:
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied
This is the line in /etc/inetd.conf:
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs
--allow-root=/usr/home/nyap/.cvsroot-test pserver
And this are the lines in /etc/services:
cvspserver 2401/tcp
cvspserver 2401/udp
I've also tried changing the user field in /etc/inetd.conf to be me and using
the -T flag to set the temp directory to /tmp. None of these changes
affects the output any.
Another thing I've tried was to explicitly create the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd
file. When doing this, I'm able to "cvs login" fine, but when I
"cvs co -c" I get:
Fatal error, aborting.
4642: no such user
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server rh rejected access
My $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file looks like:
nyap:<crypted passwd>
Does CVS handle NIS passwd files properly? Could NIS be causing both problems?
Thanks,
Noel

We really need exact details rather than "it appears" and "in the end".
My best guess based on what you've said is that inetd was unable to
start CVS for some reason -- look for error messages in syslog and
perhaps try running inetd with debugging turned on.
