ok well here's some more detail on my problem.
I set up CVS the following way.
i created a directory which i wanted to work as the main directory, the
repository.
then i typed and added the following to my .profile
CVSROOT=/afs/fsh/.../repository/
export CVSROOT
then typed this, which creat ed the CVSROOT directory
cvs -d /repository/ init
then after creating another directory ( dir_name ) with the files i want to
be controlling, i went into the directory to be controlled, and typed in:
cvs import -m "Initial import into CVS" dir_name jwargand start
this spits something out on the unix window, and then after that i type in
cvs checkout dir_name
cvs checkout: cannot find module "Testfile" - ignored
and that comes out and nothing else.
I looked at the profile, and the module files, as you pointed out michael,
and i also looked at your webpage, but i don't see where to add that to the
modules file, or what exactly i have to add
here's my CVSROOT directory:
/afs/fsh/data/de/gym/culp/TestCVS/CVSROOT
thats what it says when i echo CVSROOT.
anybody have any other ideas why it may not be working???
thanxs
Jorge

It is somehow confusing to me ... :).
Please provide us the exact value of
echo $CVSROOT
and/or the commands you are using.
