Yes -- put it in the right place with the correct syntax! --allow-root
is a global option that goes *before* pserver, not after, and it needs a
value (as in "--allow-root=/usr/local/cvsdir"). Also, you can get rid
of the "-b /usr/bin" -- CVS has all the subsidiary stuff built-in now,
so it doesn't use that any more -- and you should add a "-f" global
option as well.
