[commedo]

user is a system user. I add user in file /usr/local/CVSROOT/admin. CVSNT
server still reject the connection with the following message:

$ /usr/local/bin/cvs -d :pserver:user at host:2401:/usr/local/cvsroot login
Logging in to :pserver:user at host:2401:/usr/local/cvsroot
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server host rejected access to
/usr/local/cvsroot for user user

Did you add a user named 'user' to your repository??
'cvs passwd -a user'

If not you should try a real user that exists on your server.
You should have a user acting as repository administrator. This should
be a real user.
cd into your CVSROOT create a file named 'admin' and put the user name
of this repository administrator without any spaces/tabs in the first
line.
Now this user is able to do all the thinks a repository admin has to
do ('cvs admin' etc.)
