OK. I *have* been using "chmod g+s". Yes that does work.
However, from "man xinetd.conf"

<quote>
        group            determines the gid for the server process. The 
group name
                         must  exist  in /etc/group.  If a group is not 
specified,
                         the group of user will be used (from 
/etc/passwd).   This
                         attribute  is  ineffective  if  the  effective 
user ID of
                         xinetd is not super-user.

So...in my cvspserver file, I do specify "group = cvsroot".
Should CVS not then take on that group and thus create directories (or 
files for that matter) using this group id? Perhaps I should take this up 
on the developer list. It seems like CVS should honor the settings that 
xinetd (or inetd) sets. I could be wrong though. :)

thanks,
