Hello all!

I left my chrooted cvs jail scenario and tried to setup cvsnt on my redhat 
machine straight like the docs told me.

Well, doing

root at MMMDI [~]$ cvs -d :pserver:tommyd at localhost:/mmmdi login

now gives me 

cvs [login aborted]: the :pserver: access method is not installed on this 
system

Calling the login remotely I get the login field and after that I still stuck 
on this stupid 

cvs [login aborted]: bad auth protocol start: BEGIN AUTH REQUEST

error, so actually nothing is working.

My /etc/cvsnt/PServer file (removed commented stuff):

#####
Repository0=/home/cvsroot
Repository0Name=/mmmdi
EncryptionLevel=0
CompressionLevel=0
LockServer=localhost:2402
EnableRename=1
####

My /etc/xinet.d/cvs file:

#####
service cvspserver
{
        id                      = cvspserver
        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        log_type                = FILE /var/log/cvspserver
        server                  = /usr/local/bin/cvs
        env                     = 'HOME=/home/cvsroot'
        server_args             = pserver
        wait                    = no
        disable                 = no
}
####

my /etc/passwd file:

#####
cvs:x:6000:6000:Anonymous CVS:/home/cvsroot:/bin/bash
tommyd:0m6PRAVWkfIZg:6002:6000:Thomas Keller:/home/cvsroot:/bin/bash
...
####

cvslockd is running, xinetd started cvspserver without any error, so I don't 
know what I'm doing wrong here. I did the default "./configure;make;make 
install" procedure (since ./configure --help tolds me that :pserver: is 
enabled by default...), I'm just clueless.

Any help is still greatly appreciated!

Tommy.
