I am having a problem executing updates from remote clients to a pserver
enabled CVS server. The server is a Linux 6.1 system.
I can execute any action locally, however I can only checkout modules to
remote machine, but I cannot execute an update or commit. When I execute
'cvs update' I receive a Permission Denied error with no additional
information.
The cvs client logs appear as follows:

My config file is as follows:
# Set this to "no" if pserver shouldn't check system users/passwords
#SystemAuth=no
# Set `PreservePermissions' to `yes' to save file status information
# in the repository.
#PreservePermissions=no
# Set `TopLevelAdmin' to `yes' to create a CVS directory at the top
# level of the new working directory when using the `cvs checkout'
# command.
#TopLevelAdmin=no
I have a group called 'cvs' containing my username as a member. I have
setup the CVSROOT/passwd file as described in the documentation so that it
maps to my system username. Permissions on the CVS directories are group
rwx except CVSROOT which has group rx. The History file is all rwx.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
