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. > linux:/usr/local/cvsroot # cvs -d > :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot > login > (Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) > CVS password: > cvs login: authorization failed: server 192.168.1.101 rejected access > to /usr/local/cvsroot for user cvs 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). -Larry Jones Your bangs do a good job of covering up the lobotomy stitches. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
