I have been struggling with this error for a day now. I don't have any
NFS file systems. I did search the archives but couldn't find anything.
Using Fedora Core 4.

In my /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file, I have:
service cvspserver
{
       id                      = cvspserver
       disable                 = no
       port                    = 2401
       socket_type             = stream
       protocol                = tcp
       wait                    = no
       user                    = root
       server                  = /usr/bin/cvs
       server_args     = --allow-root=/home/cvs/cvsroot -f pserver
       log                     = /var/log/cvslog

}

which I assume would mean that the cvs server is running as root. The
/home/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/config file is readable by root.

But I get the same error:
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/home/cvs/cvsroot
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from hostname: cvs
pserver: cannot open /home/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/config: Permission
denied

What could be happening here? My linux version; 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

my config file has this:
SystemAuth=no
#no passwd file, I want it to use the /etc/passwd for auth.
 
 
hey,
 
through which user you are trying to access cvs server
 
make  SystemAuth=yes
 
and then check out.
 
Moreover check these 2 things
 
whether SELinux is on or not   and what about iptables
 
make sure if IPtables are on port 2401 is allowed (output as well as input)
 
 
check out this url for configuring cvs on redhat linux
