PServer problem

[Stefan_Zimmer]

Hi,

I have a Problem with a cvs pserver. After a cvs login, which was
successful, I can't run a cvs checkout. Other commands like cvs
commit or cvs update are successful, too.

I get the following error:

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

Our admin's don't want to give us read permission on /root/.
How can I solve the problem otherwise?

Thanks
