I hope someone gives you a better answer. I posted that question on
gnu.cvs.help a while back and learned there is a technique for
compiling cvs with out that block against root commits. I tried the
advice given and it never worked for me. Even recompiled on two
machines so both had had theh flags set. But that was actually remote
committing but not a pserver. A ssh setup.
On the local machine I sudo from user to root and don't see that message
comeup. You'd probably find several discussions at www.groups.google.
Plug in +root +commit and aim it at gnu.cvs.help Maybe even insert
the author .. `Larry Jones' answers hundered of questions there and
has handled that one a few times.
Sorry I couldn't find the old messages now.
The sudo thing is tolerable though. All it takes is installing sudo
and looking at the file provided /etc/sudoers. You'll see what to
edit right away.
Then when commiting. As a user you'd say:
sudo cvs commit ...whatever.
Oh, here is a hefty thread from google groups that may help:

Boy those are some heavy duty addresses eh?
In case that is broken by mail plug in subject `cvs commit as root'
On the newsgroup I mentioned.
