Login problem using pserver

[Paul Law]

Hello all,

I'm trying to setup CVS on a Linux machine but is experiencing problem
logging in using pserver. I get an error message when I try to log in
using this command:

cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot login

CVS gave me the following error message after I entered my password:

cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server js1.dvasia.com.hk: Connection
reset by peer

There's some configuration information:

I have these two lines in the server's /etc/inetd.conf file:
cvspserver  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/local/bin/cvs
cvs -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver

I have this line in the server's /etc/services file:
cvspserver      2401/tcp

CVS is installed in /usr/local/cvsroot
I created the /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd file using Apache's
htpasswd with the correct password for user cvspaul.
I get the same error message when using WinCVS client.

Any suggestion? Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,
Paul Law
