Hi,
I made this mistake when i started, and to the best of my knowledge this
isn't mentioned in the documentation. The "passwd" shouldn't be CVS
managed. It should simply be a file made normally in the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT
directory.
If you make the passwd file CVS managed then it only creates a "passwd,v" in
the repositry and not a "passwd" file- which is what CVS looks for. I
believe this measure is for security reasons (ie. clients can't check out
your passwd file!).
Hope that sorts you out.
Sam
