[jcvs] CVS Command line option - "--allow-root"

I tried to configure my inetd.conf as the following:

cvs     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/bin/cvs      cvs pserver

but jCVS connection test failed and complaint that --allow-root is missing
from inetd.conf!

So I changed it back to

cvs     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/bin/cvs
    cvs  --allow-root=/pub/cvsroot pserver

and it worked. I remember I have done the first apporach before and it had
worked.

Any suggestion on why it failed this time?

thanks.
