I am trying to start pserver on a Mandriva Linux system. When I
execute the command "/usr/bin/cvs pserver -c /etc/cvs/cvs.conf",
pserver dies immediately with the message: "cvs [pserver aborted]: bad
auth protocol start: ". /etc/xinetd.d/cvs contains:
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
server = /usr/sbin/cvspserver
disable = no
user = cvs
}
/etc/cvs/cvs.conf contains:
# -*- shell-script -*-
#
# Configuration file for the Mandrake CVS-related scripts
#
# Locations of CVS repositories you want to export via pserver
CVS_REPOS="/opt/cvsroot"
# cvs.conf ends here
Any ideas as to why pserver is dying on startup
