In one of the Fedora CVS server setup, it says that if the
administrator wants to use a simple pserver remote string
such as:
export CVSROOT=':pserver:<username>@<systemname>:/cvs'
Then one has to:
1) /etc/xinetd.d/cvs:
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
2) ln -s /var/cvs /cvs
But the problem here is that SELinux has no context for
the symbolic link /cvs, therefore deny's access.
I tried setting context for /cvs by:
1) chcon -t cvs_data_t
No dice. Does not work.
To see if I can cvs login bypassing Selinux, I tried:
1) setenforce 0
2) cvs login (successfully)
3) setenforce 1
So, what can I do to get SElinux to authorize the /cvs symbolic link access to /var/cvs?

Apologies to all. It turns out that my email spam system was blocking me from
receiving email responses I was waiting for! Geez, I will have to add another
TODO to my list.
To Paul: Can you explain what you mean by: "maybe try a bind mount instead of a symlink?"
I looked it up and understood a bind mount. Answer is nope!
Bind mount:
========
mount --bind /var/cvs /cvs
ls -ldZ /cvs:
=======
drwxr-xr-x cvs cvs system_u:object_r:cvs_t:s0 /cvs
So, the context is right, but still get a Permissions denied.
/sbin/ausearch -i -m AVC

Oh rats! This error above was for something else! My mistake!!!!
I had to trying logging in at the remote system but failed several times,
but after the 3rd try, I finally got in. Not sure why the login process
stumbled.
So, It DOES work!
