That indicates that there's no "--allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot" global
option in the command to start the server.

And I'll note in passing that you don't want to use CVS as root -- there
are too many potential security problems, you lose the ability to trace
changes to a particular person if root is a shared account (as it
usually is), and CVS won't allow root to commit changes by default for
precisely that reason.
