You need a line
port = 2401
and probably also some messing with the environment. I havn't got CVS
set up on my server at the moment and I reinstalled since I last used
it like this, so I can't recall what I had to do. It was something to
do with $USER I think.
Please consider creating a non-root user to own the cvs process and
the repository. There are some "potential security issues" otherwise
(nothing specific I can think of but if you let anyone have write
access to CVSROOT your machine is effectively wide open). The phrase
"accident waiting to happen" springs to mind.
