problem in login with wincvs

[moshe shamy]

Hi everyone,

I recently installed on Linux server cvs-1.11.1p1.
then I installed on my computer wincvs 1.3 I go to admi/preferences and fill
the correct data (the line of CVSROOT is address@hidden:/root/cvs when
moshe is the user name the number is the i.p and root/cvs is the path).
and then I tried to login and failed the computer said
cvs [login aborted]: connect to 192.168.15.86(192.168.15.86):2401 failed: No
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

therefore, I looked in the permissions of CVSROOT I see drwxrwxr-x I don't
think I need to change the permissions because this permissions was in the
first time.

does anybody know why cant I login

Tank you Moshe
