Unable to log in to cvs pserver

2002-01-28 Thread menuka 




Hi All,
 I 
have tried to set up cvs pserver.
In my repository , in the cvsroot directory
I have created a passwd file to which i have added the following 
line

menuka: def

I am getting the following error message when i try to login to cvs 
server.
cvs login :authorization failed: server rejected 
access to /home/cvs/repository for user menuka.

However if i delete the passwd file from CVSROOT directory (repository) and 
try to login to cvs server using my home account password, I am able to do 
so.

Can anybodytell me why I am not able to login to cvs server using the 
passwd file method?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Menuka

I don't know what you think you're doing, but that is not correct
syntax.  You should have the CVS user name, a colon, then that user's
encrypted password, with no extra spaces.  You can follow that with
another colon and a system user to run as; if that's omitted, the CVS
user must also be a system user and CVS will run as that user.
