I am trying to set-up a CVS pserver on my RedHat 7.1 development machine.
I tried reading the CVS book at http://cvsbook.red-bean.com, but it
does not cover xinetd, so I tried to adapt it myself.
Here is what I did as root:
cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot init
/usr/sbin/useradd cvs
cd /usr/local/cvsroo
Something to do with cvs server running as root, inheriting the HOME
environment variable. Create a user named "cvs" and run the server under
that user. Or try this as root:
unset HOME
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart

should be, you don't need that line (although it doesn't hurt
