pserver unrecognized auth error.

[guy . bobenrieth]

Dear cvs readers,

I've got this problem. I just download ans set up my new cvs server based
on the cvs-1.12.1 version.

Inside my repository   (localized in  /var/cvs_repositories/ort) I have set
the CVSROOT/passwd file with :
anonymous:
bobenrieth::cvs
strohl::cvs
where cvs is one of the system user.

I've modified the config file so that the system users could not log in
(SystemAuth=no).

When I try to log in with one the preceding users I got these messages :
$ cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/var/cvs_repositories/ort login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/var/cvs_repositories/ort
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from localhost:
/var/cvs_repositories/ort

My cvs xinetd file contains :
service cvspserver
{
        disable             = no
        socket_type         = stream
        protocol            = tcp
        wait                = no
        user                = root
        server              = /usr/sbin/cvspserver
}


where cvspserver contains :
args="--allow-root=/var/cvs_repositories/ort /var/cvs_repositories/den"
if [ -n "$args" ]; then
    exec /usr/local/cvs-1.12.1/bin/cvs -t -f $args pserver
    echo "runing cvs with -f $args pserver"
else
    echo "no repository configured in $CONF" 1>&2
    exit 2
fi

If I try a "telnet localhost 2401" I get :

# telnet localhost 2401
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
/var/cvs_repositories/ort
/var/cvs_repositories/den

cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start:

  -> Lock_Cleanup()
Connection closed by foreign host.

Which seems to tell us that the server is really running !

Any idea ????

Thanks a lot for your help.
