Hello

I am using CVS1.11.1p1 and WinCVS1.2. When I try to connect to my  cvspserver, WintCVS 
tell me: /usr/local/cvsroot: no such repository  cvs login: authorization failed: 
server 192.168.100.131 rejected access  to /usr/local/cvsroot for user root 

My pserver is located and available from within our office. The server  runs on RedHat 
7.1. When I set up a repository under /tmp/cvsroot  directory, CVS and WinCVS can work 
well. When I build up a repository  under the directory /usr/local/cvsroot, CVS can 
locally do checkout,  update, everything, while try to connect to the same server, 
using  WinCVS, WinCVS just pops up the error message above. Note that the only  
difference of /tmp/cvsroot from /usr/local/cvsroot is that the former is  owned by a 
user other than the root user while the latter is owned by root.  I have tried to 
change the file /etc/group and the permission of  /usr/local/cvsroot(using chmod 777 
/usr/local/cvsroot), but it is still  not working. 

I have searched through many tons of CVS-related documents and FAQ's. I  could not 
just find any clue with with this error. Kindly help me with this! 

Thank you in advance,
