Help .cvsignore and .cvspass!!!!!

[Marinalva Dias Soares]

Hi people!

In first, sorry my bad english, please!

I have an application on the Web that does checkout and commit of files
over the Web (I use scripts CGI for this). So, the CGI runs as "nobody".
My
repository is in "/home/mari/cvsroot" and in inetd.conf I put "2401 stream
tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/home/mari/cvsroot pserver".
At the momment of login, I have the follow message:"cvs[login aborted]:
could not open /dev/null/.cvspass: Not a directory". Sometimes, I get the
same message, but with .cvsignore. What's happening???

I did this many times and all ok, but I had to change computer and now I
didn't manage. 

If anybody help me.....

Thanks!
Marinalva.
