Re: debian: cvs server giving permission denied

[Brendan J Simon]

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.

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