Hey all,

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to CVS, so I'm looking for some help in 
solving a problem.

I've setup a CVS server and imported my source code - no problem.
On another system, as root, I checked out the source code - no problem.
Made changes to some of the files, and now when I try and check it back in 
(commit), I get the following error message
" cvs [server aborted]: 'root' is not allowed to commit files"
That's the problem!

If I check out my code as a regular user, I have no problem making changes and 
comitting them back in.

Doing the google search, the only solution I found was to recompile my CVS 
server with a change in one of the header files to allow root to do this.

Anyone know of a method of checking my changes back in as root without 
recompiling CVS or remaking the changes to the source files but done as a 
regular user?

Thanks

Martin
