Is this a known bug? If not, is there a bug list that I can submit to. So
far the problem can be summarized as:
- Problem with recursive cvs commands using pserver.
- cvs recursive commands (update, diff) cause 'Permission denied' message
and then bomb out.
- cvs commands with the '-l' flag work fine.
- problem shows up on server Redhat Linux 6.2 with cvs 1.10.8
It is possible that this is a configuration problem with my server (however,
the problem has been verified by one other person - Anthony). Has anyone
seen this problem on anything other than RH Linux? Has anyone not seen this
problem on RH Linux?

I am running Redhat Linux 6.2 and cvs 1.10.8 on both client and server. The
problem seems to occur with the GSSAPI mechanism as well as straight
password authentication.
Thanks for the feedback.

I have the exact same problem right now. I have been talking with Larry
Jones about the problem, but have not yet figured out what is going wrong.
I noticed that this behavior did appear to be a result of recursive
behavior, but I forgot to mention that to Larry.
Are you running Red Hat Linux 6.1 for the server? I wonder if this problem
occurs on any systems other than Red Hat Linux?
Anyhow, I am still hoping that someone who has had this problem and fixed it
will be able to shed some light on it.
Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
