Hi everyone!

Yesterday I installed RedHat 6.1 on a box and tried to add CVS to it. 
I went to 
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/redhat/6.2/i386/cvs-1.10.7-7.i386.html
and downloaded the package.
I installed the package and tried to connect from a Windows machine 
using WinCVS. I got an error message which I found out indicated that 
inetd.conf was missing the right entry.

So I added the following line to inetd.conf:
cvspserver  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/bin/cvs
cvs --allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver
[all on one line]

and another line to /etc/services
cvspserver      2401/tcp

Then I try to telnet my server. This works but I do not get the "bad 
auth protocol" message. I get some cvs command line help telling me 
how to use cvs. (Usage ..........)

I did also create a passwd file in /usr/cvsroot/CVSROOT and copied a 
encrypted password

When I try to login with WinCVS, I get the following output:
cvs login 
(Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server 192.168.0.200: Connection 
reset by peer

I have the following CVSROOT set in my preferences:
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/cvsroot

By the way: when I use the wrong username or the wrong password 
nothing changes.

Thanks for you help!
