What has most likely happened is that someone has changed $TMPDIR for
root to be /tmp/root and that setting is getting inherited by everything
that root starts, including [x]inetd and then CVS. Check your [x]inetd
config file against what's shown in the CVS manual:
<https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.19/cvs_2.html#SEC30>
If that doesn't help, add an explicit ``-T /tmp'' before ``pserver'' to
the CVS command in [x]inetd.conf.
