We are setting up a new repository on a Unix machine and have set up a user
list that gives the appropriate developers read/write access to the CVSROOT
directory.  Logins for the users occur without a problem, but when any of
the users try to check out a module the following error is returned:

cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission Denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission Denied

MIS doesn't want to give everyone write access to the root directory.  Is
there an Environment variable that will place the .cvsignore file in the
CVSROOT directory?

Thanks,
Rob
