You don't have to edit xinetd.conf but did you create the file
/etc/xinetd.d/cvsserver?
Here is mine:
service cvspserver
{
port= 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/bin/cvs
env = HOME=/cvsrepo
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvsrepo/TEST pserver
}
This says I have one repository in /cvsrepo/TEST and that I want to use the
pserver protocol
Then restart xinetd. After that you should see it listening on port 2401
Look at the online manual, most of this stuff in in there.
Next to have to create the reppository at a prompt on the server:
Looks like you did the init. After that I would say stop using local mode
and connect to the repository from a client.
It looks like you just have permissions wrong for your repository. When you
are using local mode (-d /home/cvsroot), the system is going to look at the
permissions of the current logged in user. Set the owner and the group of
the files in the repository to cvs and put the user you want to be the
administator (you) into the cvs group.

Subject: installing cvs server on redhat linux 8.0
hi...
New to cvs and redhat 8.0. trying to install a cvs server on redhat 8.0
server. I have the following rpms installed:
sendmail-8.12.5-7
sendmail-cf-8.12.5-7
cvs-1.11.2-5
I'd like to be able to configure the server for both password and anonymous
access if possible (but I'll take what I can get!)
I used the following procedure as a guide to install/configure the server:
edited /etc/services to include the line:
==services:cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS protocol server
edited etc/inetd.conf to include the following lines :
==# Allow CVS to be accessed as server in a client/server relationship
==cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs
cvs -f -l --allow-root=/raid/cvsroot
(I DO NOT HAVE THIS. IT SEEMS THAT I DO HAVE xinetd.conf. I DIDN'T MAKE
THIS CHANGE)
created a new user as cvs
created a new group as cvs
created a repository directory as /root/cvsroot
changed the folder permissions for cvs
ran the following command:
cvs -d /root/cvsroot init [return]
ran the following command:
cvs -d /root/cvsroot checkout CVSROOT [return]
modified the CVSROOT/config file:
# Set this to no if pserver shouldn't check system users/passwords
SystemAuth=no
# Set `PreservePermissions' to `yes' to save file status information
# in the repository.
PreservePermissions=no
# Set `TopLevelAdmin' to `yes' to create a CVS directory at the top
# level of the new working directory when using the `cvs checkout'
# command.
TopLevelAdmin=yes
created /root/CVSROOT/passwd by copying/modifying the /etc/passwd file
== root:x:cvs
== test:x:cvs
== steview:x:cvs
Run the commands
cvs -d /raid/cvsroot add /root/CVSROOT/passwd [return]
cvs -d /raid/cvsroot commit /root/CVSROOT [return]
(the 2nd command returned the following.)
[test@lserver2 test]$ cvs -d /home/cvsroot commit /root/CVSROOT
cvs [commit aborted]: /home/cvsroot/CVSROOT: Permission denied
At this point I realize that I'm lost...
Can anyone point me to documentation that would guide me through the process
of setting up a CVS server on a Redhat 8.0 machine
I've tried to review the cvshome.org docs, but I haven't come across the
right section for actually installing the CVS server I've performed
searches through google, but i've seen different pieces of information
I can't afford to screw this up!!!
Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
