Just for grins, have you tried "service iptables stop" before logging in remotely? (bearing in mind your security needs) My working /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver is below. Differences I see are that your path (server=) is different but I'm using the current tarball not RH's version and your '-f' may be out of place if there's a strict ordering to the server_args arguments, and I have a passenv= specified. service cvspserver { port = 2401 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root passenv = PATH server = /usr/local/bin/cvs server_args = -f --allow-root=<full_path_to_repository> pserver } Regards, Mike Klinke -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
