Description Roger Luethi 2003-07-26 04:40:18 UTC

/etc/xinet.d/cvspserver which is installed with cvs 
requires a cvs user and a cvs group. 
<a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14512#c5">14512#c5</a> 
claims they exist but user cvs is not on my machines (both stable and unstable), and 
it's not in the rc-scripts /etc/passwd, either. 
 

Reproducible: Always

After a conversation with woodchip, he allowed me to take this bug.
I did minor fixes to the xinet.d cvspserver file and will take care of
enewuser/enewgroup in the cvs ebuild.

I'll commit my changes later today as cvs-1.11.10-r1 and keep it in ~ for a while
