RE: problem with password authentication

[Ronald Landheer]

The newlines are not actually there - that would be too easy.
I upgraded to CVS-1.11-3 a while after sending the post
I noticed the error in my xinetd.d/cvspserver file just after I sent the
post, and fixed it, but it still doesn't work. I removed the other possible
repositories - still doesn't work. I added -t to the command-line options -
doesn't produce any more output.
Nothing hows up in /var/log/messages (I'm not sure anything is supposed to)
and I don't know which other logs are kept by CVS (any?)

If you see anything, please say so :)

Thx,

Ronald
