That's what I've read everywhere. But I've retyped that line
letter-for-letter in the /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver startup file more

command line.
I'm at a loss. It's got to be something else.
That's the only thing that causes that particular message.
Okay I figured it out. I mostly had it set up right, but I needed to:
1. Create a new user named "cvs" ( I used UID 89).
2. Create a new group named "cvs" (also GID 89).
3. Do a "sudo chown -R cvs:cvs /usr/local/cvsroot".
4. Change the "/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver" startup file to have "user = cvs".
5. Restart xinetd.
6. Make sure the "/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd" file had a
"username:encpw:cvs" entry.
I used this Perl script to generate the password:
srand (time());
my $randletter = "(int (rand (26)) + (int (rand (1) + .5) % 2 ? 65 :
97))";
my $salt = sprintf ("%c%c", eval $randletter, eval $randletter);
my $plaintext = shift;
my $crypttext = crypt ($plaintext, $salt);
print "Plaintext: $plaintext\n";
print "Encrypted: $crypttext\n";
And now logins work correctly!
I'll have to post a nice tutorial on http://macosxhints.com about this
when I have time...
