I want to provide access to the respository remotely and for other users.
No,  while reading the FAQ, I was under the impression it would be created
the first time, just use mkpasswd?  Didn't know all that, that's for the
info.

Did you create the password file /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd and allow
access for 'jrancier'?

By the way, you don't have to go through all the trouble of setting up
pserver if you just want a local CVS repository.  Just set $CVSROOT and use
normal cvs commands, and it will access the files locally.  pserver is
fairly insecure and if you plan to access it remotely you should use the
"CVS_RSH=ssh" access method instead.  About the only thing pserver is useful
for is if you want a publicly available anonymous read-only repository.  My
apologies if you knew this already.
