I do have a hunch that the passwd file above is describing that when the cvsuser "fly" logs into cvs, then cvs should change userid to the system user "cvsuser", which doesn't exist in /etc/passwd. Try adding the user cvsuser in /etc/passwd, or use the "adduser" command to add the user. Special thanks to Tobias who replied privately ans was right. I add to do this too: chown cvsuser /var/lib/cvs Now, everythings seems to work correctly. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
