Setting up CVS server on Linux

[Yanglong Zhu]

Hi there,

I posted the problem earlier when I was terribly confused. I now try to 
present it more clearly.

I am trying to set up a CVS pserver on a Linux box. But I can only login 
and checkout from the local box, cannot checkout from a remote box 
although I can login from a remote box. From nowhere can I commit into 
the repository. I tried both Fedora Core 1, and RedHat 8.0. They behave 
the same way.

When issue commit command, I get
cvs commit: Examine seq
...
Fatal error, aborting.
cvs: no such user

What could be the problem? My guess is the pserver somehow cannot 
read/process the passwd file properly. Yet I can login, even checkout.
Thanks
