setgid failed: Operation not permitted

2003-03-16 Thread Ed Swierk 
I'm running a CVS pserver as a non-root user (cvs) on host cvs.  I have 
created a mapping for each user in the CVSROOT/passwd file:

  user1::cvs
  user2::cvs
  ...
A few users are getting a setgid failed: Operation not permitted error, 
but only when accessing the repository via SSH port forwarding (ssh -L 
2401:cvs:2401, with CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs).  Everything 
works when accessing the repository directly (with 
CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs).

The server version is 1.11.5.  Every file in the repository is owned by 
group cvs (which is the primary group of user cvs).  Should the files be 
owned by user cvs as well?

Any ideas what the problem might be, or how to go about tracking it down?

A setgid() failure implies that the CVS server isn't running as root.
