Here is my cvspserver in xinetd.d
service cvspserver
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
protocol = tcp
user = root
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/repository pserver
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
I have a user called cvs, and a group called cvs on the CVS server, and a
user called remote in the cvs group also on there server. Now
if I run
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/repository login
(Loggin in to address@hidden)
CVS password:
.. now Im back to my client machine prompt no erros
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/repository checkout repository
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied
I read info xinetd.conf and it says that the user = root should mean the
server is running the service cvspserver as root, so why can't root open
its home and chdir? Am I missing something here?
Thanks for the tip.
