your last post gave me a hint. so the system is a SLES10 machine, but it is using hacc (i.e. high accessibility computer center) i'll contact the system administrator. there are some filesystems mounted from elsewhere. there is a ro filesystem with the system stuff and changes for the individual machine are put "on top" of this system rw (maybe that is the reason, i'll ask the sysadmin about) nevertheless > mount /ram/union on / type unionfs (rw,dirs=/ram/changes=rw:/=ro) (...) /dev/sda2 on /tmp type ext2 (rw) ascc-fsP:/vol/vol_home on /home type nfs (rw,sync,addr=192.168.100.100) ascc-fsP:/vol/vol_data/www on /srv/www type nfs (rw,sync,addr=192.168.100.100) and > ls -ld /tmp drwxrwxrwt 516 root root 16384 2006-11-14 09:15 /tmp and > ls -ld / drwxr-xr-x 37 root root 4096 2006-11-14 07:48 / so, in my opinion user "snm" should be able to read and execute all directories above /tmp nevertheless > cvs version on /tmp also yields the error. cvs [version aborted]: cannot get working directory: No such file or directory since we use the rpm version of cvs i do not have any idea how to debug. could you give us a hint? best regards willi _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
