ALErs -

I got past the 'setgid' problem, but I'm a bit cautious about the change:
 In my '/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver' I changed the line:
 "      user = cvsuser"

 to read:
 "      user = root"

That worked, but was it wise? Could I have set permissions elsewhere to
successfully use my low-powered 'cvsuser' as the cvs actor?
