There is a problem! Anonymous pserver doesn't work.

$ cvs up
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvs/autoconf'
(/cvs/autoconf/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/autoconf'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

The solution for the "/root/.cvsignore" is to add "-f" after cvs in
/etc/inetd.conf.

I think that the problem with locks is a separate problem. You may want to
use a separate lock directory by using "LockDir" in CVSROOT/config.
