[cvs pserver] unrecognized auth response

[Hon Seng Phuah]

Hi all,

My system administor just set up a cvs pserver on a linux machine. The
configuration for x.inetd.d is:

service cvspserver
{
#       disable = no
   port = 2401
   socket_type = stream
   protocol = tcp
   wait = no
   user = root
   passenv = PATH
   server = /usr/bin/cvs
   server_args = -f --allow-root=/pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs pserver 
}

cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:2401/pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs login

cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from pglc8004: cvs
pserver: cannot open /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config: Permission
denied

I have the /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config and the
subdirectories in /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs set to 777 and had created
passwd and save in the /pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd.

May anyone tell me what I have done wrong here and how to solve my
login problem? Thanks in advance.
