Hi,

I have problems with run a cvs server in a linux environmtent with
SElinux. I configured cvs server according to different googled
tutorials. Everything seems to be ok but I can't login to the server.
The message occures that a permission is denied for the file CSROOT/
config.
I tryed to switched off SElinux and it worked but I would like to find
a solution not a workaround.
I'll be gratefull for help.

regards
Jacek

Don't. Switch directly to Subversion if you need centralized control,
and use svn+ssh with the 'svnserve' command options to secure it.
There are decent cvs2svn converters available.

Don't use HTTP or HTTPS access for Subversion uploads, though. The
command line clients store your passwords locally in clear text, which
is *BAD* practice.
