PServer Setup problems

[Bodger]

I am new to CVS admining.  I am trying to setup a pserver on a linux
box and have windows clients use it.

I cannot login:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden test]$ cvs -d :pserver:support:/home/www/data/CVSROOT
login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/home/www/data/CVSROOT
CVS password:
cvs login: authorization failed: server support rejected access to /
home/www/dat
a/CVSROOT for user julian
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/julian
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the CVSROOT:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden test]$ cd /home/www/data/CVSROOT
address@hidden CVSROOT]$ ls
passwd  passwd~
address@hidden CVSROOT]$ cat passwd
julian:pfu.6ygn0Dloc
address@hidden CVSROOT]$
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

passwd was created with htpasswd using my normal password.   I did
notice that even though the password is the same if I create it
multiple times it is different each time.

Here is my xinetd.d

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden xinetd.d]$ cat cvspserver

service cvspserver
{
   port        = 2401
   socket_type = stream
   protocol    = tcp
   wait        = no
   user        = root
   passenv     = PATH
   server      = /usr/bin/cvs
   server_args = -f --allow-root=/home/www/data/CVSROOT pserver
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have not been able to do the init CVSROOT because it hasn't let me
login in yet.

Can someone help me figure this out please?

Thanx

Julian
