What has most likely happened is that someone has changed $TMPDIR for root to be /tmp/root and that setting is getting inherited by everything that root starts, including [x]inetd and then CVS. Check your [x]inetd config file against what's shown in the CVS manual: <https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.19/cvs_2.html#SEC30> If that doesn't help, add an explicit ``-T /tmp'' before ``pserver'' to the CVS command in [x]inetd.conf. -Larry Jones Life's a lot more fun when you're not responsible for your actions. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
