Indeed, some devices need to be created inside the chroot jail and are used by the cvs process. cvsd-buildroot should print a warning if the created devices could not be used. > - couldn't checkout due to missing ":cvsd$" for all accounts on > CVSROOT/passwd. The formatting for CVSROOT/passwd files should be cvsuser:passwordhash:cvsd (assuming standard read-only setup). cvsd-passwd should set this up correctly and both cvsd-buildroot and cvsd-buginfo should report most configuration problems here. I don't know what you mean exactly by ":cvsd$". > Although the second item is documented in "README.gz" for a new repo, the > first > issue is not mentioned at all.

The above line can be safely ignored. It only means that the call to select() was interrupted (probably due to the sub-process ending). The cvs process that is started does provide very little debugging information though and it is also hard to get extra info (see the FAQ for details).
