/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 Steps to Reproduce:
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
committed. If you have any suggestions or still think something should be done differently then please open a new bug and assign it to me.
