I am using the pserver option with CVS and the CVSROOT in /var/lib/cvs and this is what I did. - Make sure /etc/services included a line saying: cvspserver 2401/udp - Added the following line to /etc/inetd.conf: cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs \ --allow-root=/var/lib/cvs pserver - Create the file /var/lib/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd - To add a user to that file: htpasswd -n <username> >> /var/lib/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd (then append ":cvs" to the end of each line in that file, to make all files owned by user cvs) - Change the environment variable CVSROOT to: CVSROOT=:pserver:<username>@localhost:/var/lib/cvs - cvs login Olle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
