Hi , Thanks for a prompt reply . I appreciate that.
I had tried both the options , I added a user ( & group called cvsusergroup) and added few existing Unix users (myself,sysadmin ) to this group. I defined "cvsusergroup" user's home directory as cvsrepository. Also made that user as owner of that group. Gave --rwe-- permissions to the repository. I also have a CVS admin GUI page from where I can add cvs users. I added few cvs users and defined them to access the files as "cvsusergroup" ... This added the following lines to $CVSROOT/cvsroort/passwd file Ibrahim:<password>:cvsusergroup cvsusergroup:<password>:cvsusergroup. I am really going crazy with this error. What is the "cvspserver/tcp: bind: Address already in use" error? How do we define cvspserver to authenticate the users againt the users in the passwd file or against the system users?

When this happens, the server should log a message under the DAEMON facility that says either "login refused for <repository>" (which indicates that the specified repository isn't valid) or "login failure (for <repository>)" (which indicates that either the username or passwordisn't valid). In the later case, if your system has an AUTHPRIV facility, it will also log a message there containing the username and password. Since it looks like the specified repository exactly matches the --allow-root= option in inetd.conf, I'd say either the username or password isn't right: are you using a $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file or system authorization? -Larry Jones I'm crying because out there he's gone, but he's not gone inside me. -- Calvin --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
