Why disable sspi?

You should not create repositories without asking the user.  If 
necessary put up a dialog and ask them (really you shouldn't start the 
service by default - assume a client installation unless there's a good
reason not to).

That just creates configuration difficulties and makes the service hard 
to configure.   Start the daemon as root and let cvsnt drop privileges 
when it needs to.

You'll also need to install/start cvslockd.

You'd be better off starting with the redhat RPM and making any needed 
changes there.  Mandrake and Redhat are virtually identical in this 
respect (it wouldn't surprise me if the RH RPM installed on mandrake 
without changes).
