OK, here's some detail. I added the "webview" account to the
server /usr/local/repository/CVSROOT/passwd file. Login
seems successful.
Here's a snip from the telnet session -- I'm logged into the
"webview" account and directory on the client node, running
cvs 1.10.6. "gaia" is the server. CVSROOT is
/usr/local/repository.
============================================
[webview@node4 CCProc]$ cvs -d
:pserver:webview@gaia:/usr/local/repository login
(Logging in to stuartd@gaia)
CVS password: <<I type the password for the "webview"
account on gaia>>
[webview@node4 CCProc]$ cvs commit
cvs commit: Examining .
....<<vi session here>>....
Fix formatting and bugs that crashed on flaw overload.

OK, I'm not root. What's up?
Thanks!
