I didn't set anything like that up. I simply added this line to /etc/inetd.conf: cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/home/ng/tools/cvsroot --allow-root=/home/somewhere/else pserver > I am not sure of all the gory details about your particular setup, but > the message seems to imply that `mgrant' is blocked by the access > controls of the server itself. It sure seems that way. Or it seems that somehow it's proposing the wrong password. Hmm, now, here's something funny, the password in CVSROOT/Root is all lower case and my password is mixed case. I tried editing this file and adding the mixed case, but no, that didn't help. Then, I tried changing my password on the server to match the all lower case password it insists on putting in the Root file and now I can get in, but only if I provide the -d :pserver:.... on the command line. I tried setting CVSROOT but again, the same auth error. > Do you have a CVSROOT/readers or CVSROOT/writers in > /home/ng/tools/cvsroot/CVSROOT/ on the CVS server? > > If yes, what do they contain?

At least I can now update my local copy from the cvs server using the long cmd line with the -d :pserver:... stuff. However, I'm still curious why setting CVSROOT isn't working. By the way, thanks for all your help. Michael Grant
