I just did this. I ran

----
/usr/bin/cvs -f --allow-root=/var/lib/cvsroot pserver
----

just like it says in my xinetd.d/cvspserver-tcp file... it is kinda
strange... it doesn't accept any connections then, but when I press
enter in the terminal then, I get this:

----
address@hidden lmergen # /usr/bin/cvs -f --allow-root=/var/lib/cvsroot
pserver

cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start:

address@hidden lmergen #
----

So it seems like it acts like a server-in-client version... you start
it, and you have to speak the protocol to it?

Sounds really strange to me...

You have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
