my problem: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission Denied |

I have installed cvspserver on a Redhat linux 7.0 machine and I am running
WinCVS client from the command line
on Windows 2000. The version of CVS I installed on Linux is:
cvs-1.11-1.i386.
I can succesfully use the cvs commands to create and checkout projects when
I run them locally on the linux box.
However, I have problems when I run them through the cvspserver from a
Windows 2000 client.
I believe that I have the pserver configured correctly because I
am able to log in fine with the following command: (note, I use different
username, hostname, and projectname
than included in this message).
cvs -d :pserver:<myusername>@<myhost>:/usr/local/cvsroot login
However, when I attempt to check out a project with the following command:
cvs -d :pserver:<myusername>@<myhost>:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout
<projectname>
I get the following error:
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied
Why does it appear to be trying to access root's home directory, when I am
specifiying the
root directory in the -d argument?
I have set up pserver with a cvspserver file in the xinetd.d directory with
the following entry:
# default: on
# description: The cvspserver is the server that allows remote access to the
# cvs repository.
#
service cvspserver
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver
}
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan Grow
