Urgh - more permission denies

    Ok, did some more things:

    a) recompiled with normal user (as opposed to being root)
    b) reinstalled
    c) adjusted my xinetd entry:

    # default: on
    # description: CVS Server
    service cvspserver
    {
        flags           = REUSE
        disable         = no
        protocol        = tcp
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        env             = '$HOME=/CVS'
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args     = -f --allow-root=/CVS pserver
        log_on_success  += DURATION USERID
        log_on_failure  += USERID
    }

    d) reloaded xinetd

    And I still get:

    cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
    cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied

    Now I'm lost.

    For the record, I also tried changing the 'user' variable to the
'cvs' user, and that gave me a setuid error.  (the user 'cvs' exists,
and it also owns '/CVS' and everything underneath that.)

    Let's see what other suggestions I can find in the archives.  -f
doesn't seem to like me very much.
