The cvsnt.org cvs server runs on Linux. :)

You should either modify your --allow-root to say /home/cvs/repos (it has to
be identical to the repository specified on the command line), or since it's
cvsnt, you can remove this altogether - you'll find a file
/etc/cvsnt/PServer.example - copy this to /etc/cvsnt/PServer and edit it to
contain the repository and any roots required - if you've seen the registry
format on NT it'll look familiar...
