Problems with user authentication

[Antonio Navarro Navarro]

Hi all,

I have installed cvs 1.11.5-r1 in a Gentoo Linux with the following
config :

# cat /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver
service cvspserver
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = cvs
        group           = users
        log_type        = FILE /var/log/cvspserver
        protocol        = tcp
        env             = '$HOME=/home/cvsroot'
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        port            = 2401
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args     = -f --allow-root=/home/cvsroot pserver
}

I have a user cvs with group users :

# ls -alR /home/cvsroot/

The /home/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd file contains :

antonio:KxSwBZ3hHuzQQ

If I try to login from the server (or from other machine in the
network) I obtain the following :

With the correct password :

# cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/home/cvsroot login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/home/cvsroot
CVS password: 
#

With incorrect password :

zeus root # cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/home/cvsroot login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/home/cvsroot
CVS password: 
cvs login: authorization failed: server 192.168.167.155 rejected access to 
/home/cvsroot for user antonio

After logging with the correct password, if I try to add a file (for
example) :

# cvs add test.c
Fatal error, aborting.
antonio: no such user

Where is the error ? The user authentication seems to work ok.
