cvs pserver drives me crazy :(

[Markus.Grunwald@pruftechnik.com]

Hello,

Can someone please explain to me, why cvs-pserver isn't working on my 
debian testing box ?
I configured cvs with "dpkg-reconfigure cvs" to use /srv/cvs for the 
repository and to use cvspserver.

This happens when I try to login:

gru@PT-AGCMLX1 >cvs  -d :pserver:gru@172.17.5.44:/srv/cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:gru@172.17.5.44:2401/srv/cvs
CVS password: 
/srv/cvs: no such repository

/var/log/syslog says:

May 20 16:06:28 PT-AGCMLX1 cvs-pserver[18724]: connect from 172.17.5.44 
(172.17.5.44)
May 20 16:06:28 PT-AGCMLX1 cvs: login refused for /srv/cvs

I inserted strace in the cvspserver- line of inetd.conf. According to its 
output, /etc/passwd is read, but neither /etc/shadow nor 
/srv/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd

I have no idea whats going wrong here...
