Unset $HOME before restarting inetd!

[agreatham]

Still getting "cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied"?  So
you've memorized
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_21.html#SEC182 and you've fixed
your inetd.conf and restarted inetd manually but it still doesn't
work.  Sound familiar?

If your cvs version is older than 1.11.1p1, then you will have to
unset $HOME before restarting inetd, thusly:

  address@hidden:~> unset HOME
  address@hidden:/root> /etc/rc.d/inetd start

Hope this helps!
