If you are using pserver you should not need to su, [x]inetd runs as root.
I have a few questions to that may resolve some assumptions the rest of us
are making.
Q1) what username are you giving to CVS?
Q2) on the solaris box what does the following command sequence yield?
cat /etc/passwd > /tmp/workoutuser; ypcat passwd >> /tmp/workoutuser ; \
grep username_from_Q1 /tmp/workoutuser
Q3) on the solaris box what does the following command sequence yield? (Note
that you may not want to give all the information output here, just what you
believe may be involved.)
cat /etc/group > /tmp/workoutgroup ; \
ypcat group >> /tmp/workoutgroup; \
grep username_from_Q1 /tmp/workoutuser |awk -F: '{print $4}' >
/tmp/workoutgid
grep -e `cat /tmp/workoutgid` \
-e username_from_Q1 /tmp/workoutgroup | \
awk -F: '{print $1 "\t:" $3}'
Q4) on the solaris box what does the following command sequence yield?
ls -l `echo $CVSROOT |awk -F: '{print $4}'`
#assuming CVSROOT is set to pserver
