my fault, consider pamirian being patrick
there is no problem with my directories... I'm not sure but it seems to
be some kind of a permission problem when it's trying to access the
/root/.cvsignore file ... why root tho ? is it because cvs is running as
root ?

You have the allow-root set to /home/pamarian, but did a cvs init on
/home/patrick. That's the problem.

Hi and thanks for reading,
I'm trying to set up a cvs repository,
this is how I'm doing it,
create the directory /home/patrick/cvsroot
then I do
cvs -d /home/patrick/cvsroot init
then I create my xinetd.conf file oh by the way I'm on RH 7.0
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
passenv =
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/home/pamirian/cvsroot pserver
}
and then I create a passwd file in /home/patrick/cvsroot/CVSROOT directory
when I do
cvs -d :pserver:patrick@matrix:/home/patrick/cvsroot login
it asks for the pass, I type the pass and it works great
BUT,
when I do
cvs -d :pserver:patrick@matrix:/home/patrick/cvsroot import -m "first
test" test patrick start
it also works but at first it gives me this message,
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied.
then when I do a
cvs -d :pserver:patrick@matrix:/home/patrick/cvsroot checkout test
it gives me,
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore : Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir (/root): Permission denied
how can I fix this ?
please don't point me at howtos, I already have 2 cvs books and few cvs
related documents but they don't cover this errors...
thank you very much for you time, I really appreciate it.
-Patrick
