The /usr/local/newrepos path on the cvs client command is referring to the CVS repository directory.
The path on the --allow-root= is the repository directory the CVS pserver is exposing to remote access. Multiple --allow-root= options can be used on the same command line in order to allow access to multiple repositories from the same pserver. This is the section from the CVS documentation that discusses pserver configuration. I have quoted the paragraph below that describes the --allow-root option. http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.15/cvs_2.html#SEC26 The `--allow-root' option specifies the allowable CVSROOT directory. Clients which attempt to use a different CVSROOT directory will not be allowed to connect. If there is more than one CVSROOT directory which you want to allow, repeat the option. (Unfortunately, many versions of inetd have very small limits on the number of arguments and/or the total length of the command. The usual solution to this problem is to have inetd run a shell script which then invokes CVS with the necessary arguments.)
