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). > -creates cvsuser (account; passwd : cvsuser) and cvsusers (group) > -install via xinetd, the cvs pserver dameon runs under cvsuser.cvsusers 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). Tony
