Yes, run under root :)

Alternatively, you have to alias all your users in the CVSROOT/passwd
to the same user that cvs is running under.  You can't use
SystemAuth=Yes in this scenario.

chroot with cvsd unsupported too?
I don't have a choice: or i run it from non-root account or run it from chroot env... all these function is not supported by cvsnt?

Thanks,
Gena.
