FreeBSD fizz.systembureau.com 3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #0: Thu Sep 16 23:40:35 GMT 1999     jkh@highwing.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
I installed the 3.3 distribution (on a P200 no-name machine) and 
wanted to install the cvs pserver. So I looked in the inetd.conf
file and found the following cvspserver lines. 
#
# CVS servers - for master CVS repositories only!
#
#cvspserver      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs    cvs pserver
#cvs             stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs    cvs kserver


I uncommmented them, restarted inetd of course, but when I tried to log into 
the server, i get the following message after entering my password:

[timon:~]cvs login
(Logging in to timj@fizz.sfabrik.de)
CVS password: 
Server configuration missing --allow-root in inetd.conf
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server fizz.sfabrik.de rejected access

The "Server configuration..." message seems to come from cvs. When I telnet to
the server, inetd accepts the TCP connection and I can talk to
CVS. 

>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD, uncomment the inetd.conf lines.
