Cygwin 1.7 - cvs pserver with system auth?

I just updated to Cygwin 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) and cvs 1.12.13. I can't seem to get pserver with system authentication working (which had been working with cygwin 1.5.17(0.129/4/2) and cvs 1.11.17).

It would appear pserver is by default now not using system authentication:

% cvs -n up
no such user ord in CVSROOT/passwd

Fine. I've fixed that with cvs.conf...

/etc/inetd.conf:
   pserver  stream  tcp nowait  root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=/var/lib/cvs/web pserver -c /etc/cvs.conf

/etc/cvs.conf:
   SystemAuth=yes

However, authentication still isn't working:

% cvs -n up
cvs update: authorization failed: server 127.0.0.1 rejected access to /var/lib/cvs/web for user ord

% cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:ord@127.0.0.1:2401/var/lib/cvs/web
CVS password: 
cvs login: authorization failed: server 127.0.0.1 rejected access to /var/lib/cvs/web for user ord

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Mark.
