Hello Larry: Thanks for pointing this out. As of now, I did not add $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file to the checkoutlist file. I removed the old passwd file from the repository and created new passwd file under $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/ and tightened up direcoty permissions for $CVSROOT/CVSROOT.
Now, I am able to successfully login into CVS with CVS user called 'readroh'. But when I checkout files from the repository, I still get read+write file permissions and not as supposed to be read-only mode. Also, is 'readers' file created the same way as passwd file? In either case it does not work. The readers file contains just one line: readroh. And for sure I gave new line at the end.
