Unable to log in to cvs pserver

[menuka]

Hi All,          I have tried to set up cvs pserver. In my repository , in the cvsroot directory I have created a passwd file  to which i have added the following line   menuka: def   I am getting the following error message when i try to login to cvs server. cvs login :authorization failed: server rejected access to /home/cvs/repository for user  menuka.   However if i delete the passwd file from CVSROOT directory (repository) and try to login to cvs server using my home account password, I am able to do so.   Can anybody tell me why I am not able to login to cvs server using the passwd file method?   Thanks in advance, Regards, Menuka
