Hi,

I am having problem getting up CVS to work properly, I can not logged in as
anonymous user either.
I try this from both PC using smartCVS and UNIX and makes no difference.

[cvsadm:]-> cvs -d :pserver:mn66730@shannon:/cvshome/CVSROOT login
(Logging in to mn66730@shannon)
CVS password:
cvs login: authorization failed: server shannon rejected access to
/cvshome/CVSROOT for user mn66730
[cvsadm:]-> !33
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@shannon:/cvshome/CVSROOT login
(Logging in to anonymous@shannon)
CVS password:
cvs login: authorization failed: server shannon rejected access to
/cvshome/CVSROOT for user anonymous

and my services file contain

cvspserver 2401/tcp

and

my inetd.conf

cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs
cvs -f --allow-root=/cvshome pserver

and my password file is

anonymous::guest

and is placed in cvshome/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd

and environmental variable CVSROOT is set to /cvshome/CVSROOT

passwd for other user such as mn66730 is cut and pasted from shadow

Any Advice on what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,

Min Oo
