Hi

I am trying to setup a CVS server on my linux box.

/etc/cvs/cvs.conf
  CVS_REPOS="/home/frederic/cvsroot"

/etc/xinetd.d/cvs
  service cvspserver
  {
     disable       = no
     socket_type   = stream
     protocol      = tcp
     wait          = no
     user          = root
     server        = /usr/sbin/cvspserver
  }


export CVSROOT=:pserver:frederic@localhost:/home/frederic/cvsroot

$ cvs -d /home/frederic/cvsroot init        <-- OK

$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:frederic@localhost:/home/frederic/cvsroot
password: XXXXXXXX                          <-- OK 

$ cvs import -m "MyNewProject" projects/firebird frederic start
cant'create temporary directory /root/tmp/cvs-serv4880
Permission denied


Isn't the cvspserver supposed to run as root (user = root) and therefore
should not have any trouble writing to /root ?

Any ideas?
