please make sure you have read and understand this: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.10/cvs_2.html#SEC13 And see if it helps you. What are the permissions on your repository _directory_? from the above info it should be something like: ls -ld /cm/REPOSITORY/ drwxrwsr-x 7 cmadmn cvsuser 512 Aug 18 13:19 /cm/REPOSITORY/ <SNIP> -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
