SUMMARY: CVS Error upon login with pserver

Hello All,

I actually stumbled across the answer to my question.  I found an excerpt from
Version Management with CVS at
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_21.html#SEC182 that explained the
error.  I simply upgraded to cvs 1.11.2 and the problem was resolved.

Thanks,

Gary

"If you seem to be connecting but get errors like:


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

then you probably haven't specified `-f' in `inetd.conf'. (In releases prior
to CVS 1.11.1, this problem can be caused by your system setting the $HOME
environment variable for programs being run by inetd. In this case, you can
either have inetd run a shell script that unsets $HOME and then runs CVS, or
you can use env to run CVS with a pristine environment.)"

> As a follow-up to the CVS Tree migration I have been having an issue with
pserver.  When a remote user attempts to login they get an error the cvs
cannot chdir to my personal home directory.  See as follows:
>
> cvs -d :pserver:ddog@192.168.32.12:/home/cvs checkout files (in directory
C:\)
> cvs server: cannot open /home/garysherman/.cvsignore: Permission denied
> cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/home/garysherman): Permission denied
>
>
> Does anybody know why this is happening???

> I have searched up and down the cvs tree as well as the directories for cvs
files containing my name.  I can not seam to find anything.
