can't check out modules

[Brandon Watterson]

I am currently receiving the following errors.  I can
connect to cvs, but when I try to checkout a module it
tells me the following.

cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission
denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission
denied

The troubleshooting documentation says if I'm getting
this error:

then you probably haven't specified `-f' in
`inetd.conf'.

But I have included the -f option in my xinetd.d
directory.

service cvspserver
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args     = -f --allow-root=/var/cvsroot
pserver
}

I am using Red Hat 7.0 and CVS 1.10.8.

Any suggestions?
