On your local machine, I take it?

Did you set up '/usr/local/respository/CVSROOT/passwd'? You might want to
look into the 'Administrative Files' appendix of the
"Cederqvist" doc. That and [IIRC] chapter 2 give quite a lot of
information about setting up your server. If you have a group of users,
the server approach has a lot to be said for it.

Did you set up the connection between your [x]inetd and starting a server?

         Put in your environment setup:
           export CVSROOT=:pserver:192.168.1.30:/usr/local/repository
          (or the equivalent).
