Newbie: cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server

[horst ratz]

Hi,

I know this is a common problem but I found no solution:

I installed CVS 1.11 on Suse Linux 8.0 without problems. I can create 
repositorys, check in and out via command line without problems.

I created a user "cvsfool" who belongs to the group "cvs" and a repository 
named "/home/cvsfool/cvs/rep".

I created a file named "passwd" in "/home/cvsfool/cvs/rep/CVSROOT" and 
copy-pasted cvsfool's password-line from the "/etc/shadows"-file into it.

I added the line

cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs -f 
--allow-root=/home/cvsfool/cvs/rep pserver

to my /etc/inetd.conf

and the lines

cvspserver      2401/tcp        # cvspserver
cvspserver      2401/udp        # cvspserverq

were already set in my /etc/services as recommended.

But when I try to login with:

/opt/cvs/bin/cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/home/cvsfool/cvs/rep login

from the command line I get:

cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server localhost: Connection reset by peer


What's wrong???

Thanks in advance

Horst
