Have a cvs pserver that works like a dream.  Great wonderful couldn't be
happier...

RH72

Decided that I wanted to test something out and so I sent up a local
repository ($cvslocal = /usr/local/cvsroot) using the command:  

 cvs -d $cvslocal init  

which ran fine and set up my new spanky local repository.
Then I imported a group of files with the command:

 cvs -d $cvslocal import =m "Imported" bon/ill personal start

which ran also fine and was able to checkout the files.  Then I checked out
the modules file from $cvslocal/CVSROOT/modules and edited it to address my
new bon/ill repository.  Then I went to commit these changes with the
command:

  cvs -d $cvslocal commit -m "Update change"

I get an error that says "cvs [commit aborted]: cannot commit files as
'root'"

So I'm wondering what the problem is.  Is it that I can't be su to run cvs?
The problem is that the files I'm creating come from the output of commands
that are run as root user.  I'd rather not su the exit and then commit.  So
I guess I'm asking what are the restrictions on a local repository?  I have
read the frigging manual and can not find any mention of this whatsoever...
