RE: I had a hard time getting RH Linux 7.0 and pserver running.

I just went through this same experience last week.  A few additional suggestions:

 

After setting up the 'cvs user / group' ('Five' on the list), add:

    group = cvs

after 'user = root' in /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver

 

Also, when using CVSWeb, if the 'annotate' function doesn't work, the file permissions are wrong.  My solution: add the 'apache' user to the 'cvs' group and restart httpd (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart as root).

 

BTW, using the 'env' setting in /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver is the most elegant way of solving the HOME=/root problem I have seen.  Thanks for posting it!
