Yes, it's a system mount. No, didn't restart inetd, that's truely a
point. Yes, repository was recreated.

I created a clean repository. Sorry I didn't mention that, my fault.

I'm sorry, I interpreted the CVSROOT pointing to a "local" directory
as a suggestion to used a shared folder instead.
At the moment, I use pserver on the local machine, too, because I
still have to fiddle around with the configuration, and want to be
sure I can instantly reproduce problems arising on the machines of my
co-workers. (As mentioned before, I was in the lucky position for the
last years that I always had projects where I worked in Unix/Linux/GNU
environments.)

I omitted the last point, beside the fact that the working directory
from where the import started lives on a text mount. Will try these
two tomorrow.

Taking that into consideration, it works well:)
