Re: debian: cvs server giving permission denied

 I've got a CVS server on a PowerMac running Debian GNU Linux

 simple operations like status or update.  This only happens when
 performing these operations on directories with subdirectories
 (excluding CVS).  Is this a known problem and how do I solve it.

Sanity check:  does the user the server runs as have write access to
all the directories in the repository?

They all looked OK, then I noticed that CVSROOT had ownership/group of 
root/root.  I changed the group to cvsusers and now everything works 
ok.  Thanks for giving me the prod to the obvious.

Brendan Simon.
