That won't work -- the format of the CVS passwd file is similar to that
of the system passwd file, but they're not identical.  And the CVS
passwd file needs to go in /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT.

If cvs is a valid system user, that should have worked anyway unless you
have set SystemAuth=no in your CVSROOT/config file.  Check your [x]inetd
config to make sure you have --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot (it must
*exactly* match what you specify in your -d option).
