I have installed cvspserver on a Redhat linux 7.0 machine and I am running
WinCVS client from the command line
on Windows 2000. The version of CVS I installed on Linux is:
cvs-1.11-1.i386.
I can succesfully use the cvs commands to create and checkout projects when
I run them locally on the linux
tory for a .cvsignore file.
Thanks again,
Ryan

Because xinetd is setting $HOME in the pserver's environment to /root
and CVS believes $HOME if it's set instead of figuring it out itself.
