I'm trying to set up a remote-access CVS server on a FreeBSD 4.0 box.
I've got CVSROOT set up as /usr/cvsroot:

mighty# ls -lsa /usr/cvsroot
total 4
1 drwxrwxrwx   4 root    wheel   512 Apr 23 23:07 .
1 drwxr-xr-x  21 root    wheel   512 Apr 23 22:22 ..
1 drwxrwxr-x   2 root    wheel  1024 Apr 23 23:12 CVSROOT
1 drwxr-xr-x   2 minter  wheel   512 Apr 23 23:09 cgi-bin
mighty# 


I've got pserver in the /etc/inetd.conf:

mighty# grep cvs /etc/inetd.conf
cvspserver      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs    cvs
--allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver
#cvs            stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs    cvs
--allow-root=/your/cvsroot/here kserver
mighty# 

And I've got my user in the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file:

mighty# ls -lsa $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd
1 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  28 Apr 23 22:53 /usr/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd
mighty# 

mighty# cat $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd
minter:a_qciUKVRBj/w:minter
mighty# 


However, when I try to do a remote cvs login from my home Linux machine, I
get this:

[minter@kenbridge minter]$ echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:minter@mighty.skiltech.com:/usr/cvsroot
[minter@kenbridge minter]$ cvs login
(Logging in to minter@mighty.skiltech.com)
CVS password: [THE PROPER PASSWORD FOR $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd]
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server mighty.skiltech.com
rejected access
[minter@kenbridge minter]$ 

I'm stumped - I'd appreciate any bones people can throw this way.

Thanks,
Wade
