I'd remove /usr/src/src, otherwise cvs will recurse into it and you'll end up having two full source trees (which will likely not fit on the default /usr/src partition). It is recommended that you work from a src tree based on /usr, not one level up, especially if you're new to this. I tried myself on a fresh install, added my user to wsrc, and I can confirm that I got permission errors (write permissions denied to /usr/src) which went away after logging out and logging in again. Not entirely sure what happened there... Will investigate this later. > > The user is a member of wsrc. That was part of the reason I was so > > confused at the time.

Doas is not enabled by default, you enable it by creating an /etc/doas.conf a line such as permit youruser as root should normally be enough. See also tedu's nice writeup here: http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/doas-mastery (note that the persist feature is only in -current).
