setting up project restrictions

[kent emia]

i tried to create a 'project' restriction in oiur server

i created user in /etc/passwd

      proj:x:600:600:projects:/repo/projects:/bin/false

and in /etc/group

      proj:x:600:proj

and in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd

kent:wAdlU792laAcxtgu:proj

but as i tried to 'cvs co projects'
it returned an error 'Cannot access /repo/CVSROOT'

but if i will remove all of the changes in /etc/group and /etc/passwd
everything is fine...

am i missing something here.... i am currently following instructions
from the book 
Open Source Developement with CVS by karl fogel, moshe bar
