I want to provide access to the respository remotely and for other users. No, while reading the FAQ, I was under the impression it would be created the first time, just use mkpasswd? Didn't know all that, that's for the info.

Any other suggestions? Did you create the password file /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd and allow access for 'jrancier'? By the way, you don't have to go through all the trouble of setting up pserver if you just want a local CVS repository. Just set $CVSROOT and use normal cvs commands, and it will access the files locally. pserver is fairly insecure and if you plan to access it remotely you should use the "CVS_RSH=ssh" access method instead. About the only thing pserver is useful for is if you want a publicly available anonymous read-only repository. My apologies if you knew this already.
