cvs checkout: authorization failed

[Lu Fang]

Hi, all
I set up the cvs with cygwin under windows2K OS. I want to try a pserver 
connection protocol for my cvs repo. And I have followed some steps as shown 
below:

1. install and setup inetd, i have configured it properly and it works.
2. I also got telnet working successfully.
3. I created file /CVSROOT/passwd, it contains:
lufang:gaM3ke/hHgqkQ:lufang
joy:SGVStNTq2nwxg:lufang
4. I added "passwd" into the end of the file CVSROOT/checkoutlist
And It seems that I can login with either lufang or joy successfully, but, 
when I try any cvs command after I just login , it said that the 
authorization failed.

You can see this clearly here:

$ /usr/sbin/inetd start

address@hidden ~
$ telnet kaguya
Trying 172.20.54.111...
Connected to kaguya.
Escape character is '^]'.
